Thank you for taking the time/money/effort and Professional Ethics to expose the utter Lunacy of the Chinese flood of garbage fakes of a simple standard semiconductor component. Thank you for educating us.

Introducing the new transistor BBI2879B

excellent video..my first here...Subscribed sir

Thank you again.So I run a Texas Star 350 hdv with original dei’s been on the air about 10 months nightly use.When these cheap as no good dei’s go out do you carry the needed Toshibas and what can I expect to pay you for the installation thank you B Silver Streak 541Tx said that

Im thinking we are going to see a BBI part numbered Toshiba 2879 replacement in the near future. Heres hoping.

Great vid...happy holidays to you and your family...chow

I've got some old amps with legit Toshiba's in them. I'd consider pulling them all and replacing with a viable readily-available component, considering what the legit Toshiba's are worth. Problem is, the market is so flooded with fakes, I'd couldn't even sell the legit ones if I wanted to. Everybody would just assume they're fakes and not pay the current market value for them. I can't blame them either, I've been burned myself.

Thanks for taking the time to make this Video, great info.

Anytime or anything to do with amplifiers or any components that go into amplifiers I would only consult the master, BBI. There are so many scammers & fake components you can only trust the very few. TMP Unit 22 from N.J.

BBI are the chicoms faking the BLF188XR or the MRF300 LDMOS chips or as long as we buy from reputable USA sources is it not a worry?

If you find the vender or manufacturer your problem will be of consistency. There will be no form of quality control unless you demand it and then the price goes right up. I hear engineers saying that we will buy a cheap part and test it to make sure it meets our specification and buy them! When you point out you will need to fully test every one as the manufacture will change bits on the fly as long as his part still works to his requirements. So if you test it down to -20°C and it works tick in the box, if they change the grease the next batch might freeze solid at -1°C and your product is down along with your reputation. I guess you know which bit takes the longest to get back to where it was.

Man! Great video!!!! I can’t wait to see an 11

Good afternoon BBI. I have a question about ground tune how do you set up D&A Maverick Dual Power Amplifier ? So please let me know. Thank you for your time and have a wonderful day.

The fakes are crazyyyy can't believe people would buy them off eBay. I love my atlas dca pro!

How’zit BBI you should build (2) exactly same 2-pill amps using the 10 rated Transistors in 1 amp and shoot the video. Then swap it out with the 9 and do the same and document it’s performance on output power & voltage handling. And in the second amp the real Toshiba’s and do the same exact testing and comparison. It will be interesting to see, and I don’t think any other builders will even do that to show people what the Chinese Toshiba Transistors are putting out on the market nowadays in what it’s performance and it’s output power of what to expect versus the HG which we all no. Have a good one Aloha

I’m sure aVe appreciates the use of Canadian lingo lol

Have you ever compared original 2879's to the NTE470 "equivalents"? I'd be interested in the data as I'm currently rebuilding the "brick" on a Drake TR7. Thanks for the vids! Bob

These parts are getting hard to find. Is there anything that can be done with LDMOS for new builds?

It looks like the part number lettering is a lot thicker than the ones I got, I mean that's a good thing of course because mine aren't fake but just saying..

Interesting!!

Great information

Got a texas star dx 350 hdv think it may need repaired i have a stryker 955 forgot to turn down the power when i used amp. Now when i key up the swr on my radio shoots way up and radio stops transmitting. What could i have blown? You come recomended from a buddy in ohio. Thanks for any information you can give sending 73s.

My dude💯✊🏿

Can you put the 'good' fakes in a box and see how they compare to the real deal? Are they drop in replacements, or do you need to change the input/output circuits of the devices you can get in volume? How do they do when you thrash them to the limit (high voltage/saturation) like you used to be able to do with the Toshibas?

what does the red dot mean on a 2879?

Hello . BBI are you currently taking amps in for repairs at this time?

Very good work sir

I have to say as much as your a Toshiba fanboy.... I'm surprised you haven't taken a real Toshiba going to a company have them copy it to an exact T... and then have them called U.S 2879 ..... now that would be cool

thanks for the video ithink,,,lol,,,,after watching looks like my so called toshiba boxes ive bought are fakes, no wonder i couldnt get them to preform...now what,lol

Have you found "that best" guy yet ?

That fake Toshiba with the letter Y on it is on eBay with another name in Chinese writing.

There must be some way to contact the people who sold you the 9 and 10. Then get a good translator to explain what you want from them. Is it really that hard for these people to supply a consistent quality product to a repeat customer? Maybe you will get lucky. I want to see transistors with your logo on them.

China has been making copies of everything since we've been dealing with them. It was bound to happen. Happy Holidays BBI!

Call it BBI 2879

I have a ranger RCI FF 63 D4 I would like to use that Ranger to drive a 8 pill with could I get you to build me one or if you have one ready to sell

Has the fake ones ever worked just as good as the real ones

The factory of BBI Idaho USA

Mr.bbi did you have a malfunction today. I was listening to you on 6 when something went wrong

I'll stay hg .tell something better. And a company that stays in business.. id like some more of the asi pills I think that was the name of them ..idk

yes they are 18v and i can get them no print coming soon
