You bet Skipp! That would be the way to go. I really did not see much improvement, except maybe a little more internod!! My MSR 2000 has been running for twelve years trouble free. Have reduced power to about 90 watts. It is going to be a sad day when the "Narrow Banding" takes place, as it is on a USAF MARS fx., and we fall under the new regs!! I guess I will have to convert to 2m HAM, and re tune the Waccom Duplexers!! 73's DE TIM W7TRH/AFA5TP Vashon Wa. -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "skipp025" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Nice to know Tim... > > While the original MSR Bipolar Preamp is a really nice addition in > many places where none was installed before... a Phempt Preamp > would be the way to go if you wanted best gain and IMD performance. > > http://www.radiowrench.com/sonic/so02145.html > > cheers, > s. > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Hello, > > I own and use a MSR 2000, and the preamp card IS the same as used in > > the Mitrex mobile.

Nice to know Tim...
While the original MSR Bipolar Preamp is a really nice addition in
many places where none was installed before... a Phempt Preamp
would be the way to go if you wanted best gain and IMD performance.
