RE: [Repeater-Builder] question for Group on Mastr III

2010-04-20 Thread Doug Bade
Any preamp like advanced receiver research would be suitable assuming one
was needed. I have never seen a Mastr III that needs a preamp. unless maybe
a tower top amp to recover feedline loss.. The front end has an awful low
noise figure to start with..

Hello everyone 

 

Would like to know for a report if there is such a item available. I need to
know if there is a preamp for receive for a G.E. Mastr III vhf in ham band
146.xxx. This is part of a recommendation I need to submit and you guys know
the answer a lot faster than me trying to find it . 

 

Thanks

I do not believe there is a factory pre-amp made for this unit. I believe
factory spec is 0.35uV for 12dB SINAD.

If you decide a pre-amp is needed I'd stay away from the super high gain
GaAs FET type. I'd go with something in the 6 - 12dB gain range preferable
with a helical front end.
