Hi William.
 
I think this device has an odd AGC characteristic.  It detects a  preset 
level and then drops its gain by a fixed 35dB. Unless that can be  bypassed, then 
it'll sound a bit strange.
There may be something more suitable from Analog devices.

Hi  AMSATs,

Anyone knows some company that sells MAX1472, in  small
quantities to some homebrewing radio amateur ??

This IC is  really interresting for a picosat :o)
The MAX1473 is also very interresting  to experiment
with. Together they can be used to make a  credit-card
sized FM satellite :o)

Unfortunatly I can not find any  supplier that has them
in their list...
