Thanks for the pointer, Nate. I price- hecked the ARR website last evening before posting this FS message. I just went back and realized what had happened - I was looking at their commercial page, which lists all of the switched preamps at $150, rather than the amateur page which reflects $120, so that is what I based the price on.
Based on that, a price correction is in order. I'll let it go for $100 shipped. Some folks like the switched version, as they believe any stray RF getting back into the rx line might switch it out before damage to the fet occurs. On the other hand, some like the ability to wire the switching circuit to a logic output on a controller, thereby allowing remote enabling/disabling of the preamp.
