Do a lot of travelling and like to cruise the SW bands etc. Anyone use or
have any comments on the MFJ-1020C indoor active antenna preamp?

Performance? Bands etc.?

Thanks

Using an ICOM R-20 Communications Reciever

the r20 isn't going to be able to take much of an antenna w/out
overloading badly on hf. it simply wasn't designed for that sorta
thing. i've had my r20 overload before on the hf bands with only a
sangean an-60 reel-out wire

on the upside, you can back off the gain with the mfj unit.

much better off taking that money & putting it toward a Kaito/Degen
1103 for your hf listening, or spending more & getting an icf-sw7600GR
for hf.
