Good day.<div>I've been using eggbeaters for years.</div><div>You shouldn't have any problems reaching the birds with them.</div><div>I was getting into both analog and FM birds.</div><div>I've been using a Kenwood TS-2000x.</div><div>For a while, I used my 2m Eggbeater for both uplink and downlink, by using a duplexer I had.</div><div>I was able to hear my own signals coming back down from the birds.</div><div>My 2 meter signals had a very low swr, but my swr on 70 cm was through the roof.</div><div>But I still got enough signal up to the birds to be usable, even though I was heating up the coax.</div><div>But I did eventually get a 70 cm Eggbeater.</div><div>That brought my 70 cm swr down.</div><div>And it made it easier to get into the birds.</div><div>A 2m and 70cm preamp probably wouldn't be a bad idea.<br><div id="ymail_android_signature"><a id="ymail_android_signature_link" href="https://mail.onelink.me/107872968?pid=nativeplacement&amp;c=Global_Acquisition_YMktg_315_Internal_EmailSignature&amp;af_sub1=Acquisition&amp;af_sub2=Global_YMktg&amp;af_sub3=&amp;af_sub4=100000604&amp;af_sub5=EmailSignature__Static_">Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android</a></div></div>
