[amsat-bb] Re: Pre-amp for IC-910h?

[Andrew Glasbrenner]

The Icom units are easy to install and use with the 910, but leave a LOT to be desired in terms of noise figure. It speaks volumes that they do not publish NF specs that I know of...

I'm in the process of replacing mine with older Landwehr units.
