Re: [amsat-bb] preamp or not

[David Johnson <g4dpz@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi John,

I've had an Arrow for over two years now and it's works great with my 
THD-7 barefooot and no preamp.

Howard Long and I use a pair of them at the AMSAT-UK colloquim to demo 
low power Leo
Ops. We actually managed to get down to 50mW on the uplink to SO-50 with 
perfect copy on
the downlink.
