Sourcing of AMBE3003 parts #1

Hi gents. Where did you obtain AMBE 3003 parts from in hobby quantities? Thanks, George, M1GEO.

Ignore that, I found that they do a 6-piece order minimum for one time. Details on dvsinc price list.

Thats exactly what I did. Apparently you can only order that 6 pieces ones. Thats why I only did 3 PCBs :(

Gets pricey quickly; I was hoping to make a few with AMBE3003, but a MoQ of $500 USD for 6 chips is no joke.

When I ordered some of the AMBE3000's , DVSI failed to let me know subsequent orders would need to be for larger quantities. Not knowing this I developed a board and I sold a few interfaces but since I only started with 10 they didn't go far. Every month I get a few inquiries about the next build. I'm considering ordering the minimum quantity just so I can do a build. This becomes an easier decision if some of you guys want a few. I would be happy to share at cost plus shipping. I don't know but that may violate their terms of service if I distribute them. I will look into this. ( I am speaking AMBE3000 not the 3003 )

I could be interested in that; 3xAMBE3000 vs 1xAMBE3003 is cheaper, and I don't care about size at all as these are for a VHF WebSDR (openwebrx). In fact, 3xAMBE3000 is probably better, in some regards. If you're seriously considering this, drop me an email.
