Are you certain that a "preselector preamp" is appropriate for your
application?  By definition, a preselector is a rather broadly tuned device
that may allow a band of signals several MHz wide to get to the radio's
front end.  Such devices may not provide the narrow bandpass needed to
protect a preamp from overload by nearby transmitters, or to limit the
amount of noise getting into the preamp.

It may be better to install a couple of 8-inch bandpass cavities, each set
for 0.5 dB insertion loss, ahead of the preamp.  This will allow only a few
tens of kHz each side of the receive frequency to reach the preamp, which
can then be optimized for the amount of gain needed.  Some very good
information on this topic is available here:
