If you want to save some money, try Mini-Circuits. http://www.minicircuits.com/ We use one of their amps as a pre-amp to our receiver (don't have the model number handy). It give us about 22db gain from 10Mhz-2Ghz. Works good and it cost hundreds, not thousands of dollars. Beware! What you want is gain over noise. If a 20db amp has 10db noise you are only gaining 10db. Look for low noise amps. The cost you pay for an amp is more dependant on the noise factor, not the gain. Brian

What manufacturer/model do you recommend? Why? Your assistance is appreciated.
