Tim,
I own SSB preamps, the SP-2000 (2 meter) and SP-7000 (70 cm). They have worked
very well for me, both on my Icom IC-821 (powered by the radio) and with my
FUNcube Dongle (powered with an external bias-T from ARR). The SSB preamps
have helical filters on the front end which should help in your Los Angeles RF
environment.
You have at least four sources for the SSB preamp:
1. Direct from SSB in Germany, www.ssb.de
2. From SSB-Electronics USA, www.ssbusa.com
3. From Array Solutions, www.arraysolutions.com
4. From Universal Radio, www.universal-radio.com

Subject: [amsat-bb] Which preamp to buy for 2m?
Hi all,
I just got a M2 2M4 and 420-50-11 to mount on my az/el rotor and go with my
736R. As I'm hoping to potentially work some EME with the big guns when
conditions are just right, I'm wondering if anyone can provide advice on which
preamp to get for 2m. I live in the Los Angeles metro area, so lots of
noise/QRM, and also would like something to take advantage of the 736's preamp
switch/voltage over coax option. In other words, something that doesn't require
any complicated power/switching controls, if possible.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Tim
