Re: [amsat-bb] HRD and two radios: was dual IC-706 station

["Simon Brown \(HB9DRV\)" <simon@xxxxxxxxx>]

I use the preamps from SSB electronics on 2m and 70cms. With both the 
FT-817, FT-847 and IC-910H the difference was spectacular. I am using about 
6m of Aircell 7 co-ax to get to the antennas.
