The newer versions are in a plastic box with stainless steel \nmounting bracket. No shielding and as a result strong intermod in \nfull-duplex.\n\nI'm in the market myself for another 2-meter mast mounted to replace the \nnewer Mirage KP-2 that I once had since I use them primarily for \nsatellite work.\n\nTo answer your other question, I would, when possible, use mast mounted \npre-amps instead of in-shack due to that they amplify noise as well as \nsignals. Mount near the antenna you'll have more of the signal amplified \nand less noise. This is more prevalent when going higher in frequency \nsuch as 70 cm.\n\nReid, W4UPD\n\n\n\nOn 1/25/2015 8:59 AM, Dominic Hawken wrote:\n> Hi all,\n>\n> If you could only afford one of the above, which one would you go for? If you have both I'm interested in which one you currently use the most? I'm a few weeks away from setting up a simple az/ele system on 2 and 70 having moved house 18 months ago, so have not worked the birds for a while and am out of touch with what's available / popular. Can only afford the one, at least to start with so could do with the wisdom of this group to help the choice.\n>\n> Many thanks for any advice,\n>\n> Dominic G6NQO\n>\n>\n> _______________________________________________\n> Sent via [email protected].
