SSB Preamps!

I am running them at -40 in the winter (Manitoba) and during the hot summer. 
Very low noise, adjustable amplification, rock solid for outside use. Best I 
ever had and I tested a few. Have three and they work beautiful with the 
FT-847 and the TS-2000X on 2 m, 70 cm  and 23 cm on 70+ feet of cable.


Highly recommended.
