Hi Randy,
The SP-432VDG is a great preamp, I've used one for satellites and weak signal for many years. I personally wouldn't purchase a mirage, never had one, but haven't heard much good on them.
Also, SSB Electronics have an excellent line of preamps: http://www.ssbusa.com
I use their 2 meter mast mount for weak signal and EME, works great.
Good Luck, Chad N0YK

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.
