[amsat-bb] Vhf/Uhf amplifier for Icom Z1A?

[Ken M]

Hello Bob,

I too am interested in VHF/UHF amplifier suggestions, but for a FT-817ND (with TCXO-9).

I am not sure about Mirage now that it is an MFJ brand. A lot of online reviews pre-date that transition. I am somewhat interested in the RM Italy products sold at DX Engineering.

On a related subject, I note the ARRL lab test of the FT-818 does not recommend amplifier use, which is disappointing as I suppose that reflects on the quality of it’s output signal.

I also hope there will be an IC-9700 in my future!

I forgot to mention that I have 65 feet of 9913F between my
antennas/rotator and the radio hence the need for the amplifier.  I do
understand that if I was using an Arrow antenna (as I have in the past)
with my Icom Z1A, I'd have no problem working the satellites.

Still, no replies?

Any recommendation for amplifiers for my Icom Z1A?

I want to use it with my antennas while I  no-so-patiently wait for the
IC-9700.
