We're looking for a PNP transistor capable of dissipating about a watt
(in some air flow) and that has low output capacitance, where Co
includes the mounting as well as the part itself. This is for use as a
current source in a 1 GHz bandwidth driver circuit.

The 2nd best choice seems to be 2N2907. The best may be 2N1119, but
they look hard to get.

More details, please...How many volts do you have available for the current
source? What's the current? What will be the voltage swing at the output of
the current source?

There used to be some good high-freq uniwatt PNPs (MPSU56, MPSU60 iirc) but
I can't find even a data***. The Cobo for most available parts is really
high (>10pF @ 10V), so if your GHz driver is inflicting a large voltage
swing then you're probably SOL. If you had a bunch of volts available you
may be able to add a series R to help decouple the effect of the Cobo.

You're right -- that 2907 still looks like a crumulent choice.
