Re: [amsat-bb] [Video] Preamp test in front of radio / satellite ground station build update
SSB Electronics has mast mount preamps that some people prefer over ARR, that I assume are comparable. But my googling produced a website that has an error loading.

ARR Gasfet preamps for 2m are every bit as good as the SSB Electronics ones. The issue is power handling. The SSB units handle high power, the limit for a switching preamp on ARR's (that were still available) was 25 watts. I believe they stopped making the 160w jobs.
I think you can still get the ARR 25w RF switching preamps. I looked last month and they were still available, but perhaps they have thrown in the towel.

US Site for SSB-Electronics seems to be down.
The German site is still up: https://www.ssb.de/en/amplifiers/preamplifier/vox/100w
See SP-200 and SP-70
