looking at preamps for 2m possibly 70cm this is where my station has been lacking lna seem a good alternative at a reasonable cost.
do i mount it in the shack or on the tower my biggst issue is the long run to the top of the tower 30-40m mainly rg 213 cant justify the upgrade to lmr 400 just yet my main iterests are hf and 6m. and the lack of activity on 2m shows my hestiance. my antenna is 9 element lfa @ 11m 70cm qrt atm ( 13 element atn yagi for 70cm unreliable lookign at makign a yu7ef 18-20element for 70 cm). rig ic 7100 with a possiblity of a transverter for my elad sdr for 2m down the track and small rm italy amp for 2m 100w pep. my antenna's would be limited to a max 11 elements possibly stacked but i figured the pre amp will help b4 going the antenna upgrade path evn though my station is in a good postion contacts have been limited to 7-800 klm hoping to stretch that a bit further in the summer i have just heard the vk6 beacon when it was in over summer. thought idea's are welcome
cheers
