Re: [Repeater-Builder] GLB Preselector

I'm assuming you mean preselector - preamp. At that frequency, they were usually made with a bipolar transistor, unless it was custom made; then it could be a GaAs device. It is a MRF-901 (or equivalent) if it is bipolar. Many times only 901 appeared on the device, if it wasn't ever changed.

The GLB worked very well on my FM-76 (aka 13-509) but it only gave about 8dB gain overall to the receiver. Most of the gain was lost in the helical coil front end, but it worked wonders on marginal receivers. It tighten up the receiver and gave the impression of more added gain than 8dB. I

I move them a little at a time, don't try to make big changes or you will not be able to get a signal through it. If you want to, you can take the cover off and inject a signal into each stage. Work from the output towards the antenna connection. When you are able to get a signal from input

I think you are confused Neal, the GaAs FET option was available on GLB P/P 200 MHz and above. I did have them build me one for 2 meters, but I didn't see much difference in the performance over the MRF-901 on 2 meters; certainly not worth the added cost. Kevin Neal Newman wrote:
