Don, Wasn't that the receiver that I couldn't get to squelch out by turning my service monitor completely off (-137dB) but would squelch once I removed the cable??
Yep, I think it was!! With the preamp in-line and the squelch set critical, I could open the squelch with my HP8920 set to the lowest generator output setting (-137dB). I was so impressed with myself... Only trouble is, you have to have a GOOD set of duplexers and a damn quiet site to realize all that sensitivity. If you had the perfect situation, that receive setup would work great with a 500W amp. You would just have to have a GREAT duplexer!!

The Custom Repeater Builders who Run this Group are very Flexible They will Build You What You want and What they Recommend, It’s Your money You get what You pay for, So I just left it up to the Pros. I already had the advanced research preamp In a Hamtronics Repeater and it was needed, But sent it in for Scott to install with the Micor Job. He stated it was the hottest 220 Micor mod Receive He had ever did. And it did not even need the Preamp but I went ahead and had it put in.
