[amsat-bb] Re: Preamp

[Paul Luggar]

I suggested a preamp on a handheld would possibly overload the front end of 
the radio as my Kenwood THD7E overloads with the arrow when I go hilltopping 
with it.  With a preamp and local conditions in the UK it would be useless, 
"If" RF conditions are super quiet then it may be ok but why preamp with 
such a short feeder?
