"No replacement." I wonder whether they'd been asked to produce this sort of specialized device for a particular customer's special application, tried to commercialize it, and found that there wasn't sufficient demand to make it worth keeping the part active? The BF1105R is still made (Mouser and Future have them in stock). 7-volt minimum D-S breakdown voltage, with a gate2-source threshold voltage of around 0.8 when gate-1 is at 5 volts. At $0.39 each (Mouser onesies price) it seems like an experiment would be practical :-) Maybe use a Schottky diode output level detector to feed back to the upper gate bias?

Are there such crystals? Some circuits in that range use a VCO operating at a high frequency, phase-locked to a lower frequency crystal oscillator. Fred

Plus their f_max is usually around 700 MHz, so they don't have a lot of gain up there, which is a problem with high overtone crystals. (Or are you using one of the fancy-schmance high fundamental ones?)
