I thought you cant get YS414 chip these days.

[@radiofm7694]

achu, no they are certainly 99% not available nowadays. I bought them back during early 2000 period from RX electronics, pallimukku, kochi, during my first ever city visit solely for buying radio stuffs ;-)

TA7642 are essentially same function, and available in amazon but costs a pretty penny. You can get it from me if you're really looking for it. Send a pm thru radioboard
