For those interested, there was a nice discussion of how to calculate  
the noise figure of cascaded pre-amps on the Repeater-Builder mailing  
list about two weeks ago.

The postings should be pretty easy to find in the RB list's archives  
at YahooGroups.

If you're not interested in Repeaters, you can always join a  
YahooGroup (if the list is on YahooGroups) and set your preferences to  
"no e-mail", so you can read list archives, look in the Files area, etc.
