[amsat-bb] Preamp source

[n4csitwo at bellsouth.net]

I find myself in the same boat! I've always depended on ARR for preamps, but 
they told me material cost to build the units will run the price up too 
much, so they decided to stop making the 2 M preamp I need.
Here is one you might want to look into Jim. I've only used Mirage for their 
pw amps in the past, but have been fairly satisfied with their product and 
repair service.
