You would still need a pass cavity in front of the Preamp. Unless the Helical 
is similar 
to the old Motorola vintage L, H or M receivers the cavity is still needed to 
limit the bandwidth 
going to the preamp. You might also need an attenuator after the preamp to 
limit the gain.

Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Hamtronics Helical Resonator Preamp or Advanced 
Research Preamp 






Hamtronics has a preamp with a helical resonator with a 18dB preamp. I 
am at a high elevation with noise all around me. Advanced R3esearch has 
a 24dB preamp with a low NF and 1dB compression point. Either would be 
behind a WACOM 642 6 cavity duplxer . 

Which would be the better approach? The ultimate goal is to improve 
reception of handhelds in a mountainous region.
