I agree. ARR seems to be the cream of the crop when it comes to the preamps that I have used. The ARR works great with my satellite work.
I also have used a preamp with my arrow for portable work. It does not overload the HT / Scanner and is great because you don't have to be "on point" with the arrow. In fact, with a good pass, I have been known to set the arrow down on the hood of my truck and still get a great signal. Good luck!

I plan to purchase an ARR SP-432VDG preamp at Dayton Hamfest. Mirage offers the KP-1-440 preamp with similar specifications. Does anyone on the list have advice on which unit to choose?
Thanks in advance,
Randy KI4LMR

Jeff, An ARR SP-432VDG would work just fine with that setup. I have two of those preamps and they work great!
I've done many portable operations with an HT and Arrow with great success.
I saw a message saying this would overload the HT. Not true. But your friend will be able to HEAR and hear well.
