Remember that the improvement that a preamp makes\n(for a given position in the receiving system) is related to the gain\nand inversely to the noise figure. Gain is easy, low noise figure is\nnot; but without the latter you will receive more noise on 70cm, not\nmore signal. I would strongly recommend a ARR or SSBUSA preamp for any\nbeginner. Since the marginal expense is not that great, you are much\nbetter off getting a switching model appropriate for out-of-doors use.\nGet switching also because you will want to diversify into mode-B\noperations, using VO-52 in particular.\n\nI have enjoyed many Ramsey kits in the past, but my experience is that\ntheir preamps are not designed for improving weak-signal reception on\neither the VHF or UHF satellite bands.\n\n73, Bruce\nVE9QRP\n", "attachments": [] }
