skip I opened up My 2 meter GLB preamp preselector. it is an MRF-901. Years ago there was an article in one of the Ham radio handbooks that showed a 4 element UHF preamp/preselector that I built for ATV use. and it too was based on an MRF-901. It worked great. GaSfets I feel have too much gain,

What is the NF of a stock UHF Micor/Mitrek/MASTR II? Anyone ever measured it?   My experience has been that 16 dB gain provides a noticeable improvement, but a low NF is the real key to success. If the preamp gain is higher than 20 dB, it's easy to put an attenuator between the output of the
