OK, I've spent hours on the net looking for this one and I'm stumped. I have 2 types of SMD RF transistors, both in identical case styles. The case is about 4mmX4mm square with the leads in a 'plus' pattern with slight indents at the emitter tabs. The collector lead is slightly wider. The markings are W246 and W235.

I know they are UHF med. pwr. output transistors with Vce <~10v, I have seen them before in handhelds, but who makes them!!! They must be pretty common but I can't even find a manufacturer with that type of case. Please someone point me in the right direction! Thanks in advance
