Hello All,

I wanted to thank all the members who were nice enough to give me a few minutes of their time to help me make a decision on a preamp for 70cm, I made my choice! I look forward to helping any way that I can in the

future.

You missed my suggestion..........."Build your 70 preamplifier by yourself"

At the beginning you will be probably unsuccesfull and it will cost to you more then to buy it as new in a store but in a couple of years if you are perseverant reading and studing into the appropriate books and magazine you will learn the venerable art of the real satellite experimenter.

The instruments you need ?............nothing of magic but only a noise generator made with a diode 1N21 and more important the exact knoledge of the meaning "Noise Figure" and how to do to adjust a preamplifier for the lovest value using the above very simple "Noise Generator".
