[amsat-bb] 2M RX preamp for sale

[GEO Badger]

MiniKits.com.au 2m 144MHz VHF RX/TX Preamplifier
This product is ideal for use with the Icom Multimode VHF transceivers including the IC-275, IC-820/821, IC-910H and IC9100 that have a PREAMP enable switch to supply +12vdc out of the antenna connector in RX mode. Transceivers without this function will require an external bias tee like the Mini-Kits EME168-2-70 to supply DC power up the coaxial cable. When using a high power RF amplifier up to 500 Watts, additional sequencing will be required to protect the pre-amplifier from damage. The Mini-Kits EME166 Sequencer can be adapted to be used for correct sequence timing of the RX to TX changeover.
This unit is peaked for 145.800 MHz and mounted in a Nickel sprayed GME enclosure. It was used once for an ISS contact.
