Bruce, One common method of combining two receivers is to use a coax tee at the antenna feedline and 1/4 wave pieces of 75 ohm coax from the tee to each receiver. This can be expanded to four receivers using six pieces of 75 ohm coax, but probably isn't worth the effort. If the received

I think you are confused Neal, the GaAs FET option was available on GLB P/P 200 MHz and above. I did have them build me one for 2 meters, but I didn't see much difference in the performance over the MRF-901 on 2 meters; certainly not worth the added cost. Kevin Neal Newman wrote:
