SARA,

The Icom IC-R75 (r-75) has two 'built-in' Pre-Amplifiers.

SO... WHY ? Complicate things with another outboard Pre-Amplifier ?

"IF" (Big IF) you can NOT have (use) an "OutSide" External Antenna
then build the Best and Biggest "InDoor" Antenna that you can and
use one of the Icom IC-R75's (R-75) 'built-in' Pre-Amplifiers with it.

Note - Instead of the Push-Pins 'small' Cup-Hooks can be use.

PRE_SELECTOR: A small 'passive' Antenna Pre-Selector like the
MFJ-956 can be used with one of these InDoor [Hidden] SWL Antennas
and the Icom IC-R75 (R-75). The MFJ-956 is a very small box.

The MFJ-956 greatly improves reception from 150 kHz to 30 MHz;
especially below 2 MHz.

All three can be used successfully with the Icom IC-R75 (R-75).

Are there any INDOOR active antennas
that would work well with an Icom R75?

I'm only interested in medium wave and shortwave.

What kind of performance can I expect from an indoor active antenna?

What is available out there?

Thank you!
Sara
