I've heard nothing but good things about ARR gear. However, you are
probably correct that most situations will not find this preamp to be
useful.

How about following this preamp with a passive splitter to make a low
noise multicoupler?

For One and All,

Is anyone using a Advanced Receiver Research (AR2)
High Performance "Receive Only" Broadband Pre-Amplifier ?
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Shortw...a/message/6654

Features:
* Low Noise Figure
* High Immunity to Overload
* Completely Shielded
* Suitable for mast/tower mounting
* Small Size
* Rugged low profile custom enclosure

Claim is that these Broadband Pre-Amplifiers use a low noise
figure, heavy-duty bipolar transistor in a multiple feedback
circuit to obtain essentially flat performance characteristics
across the frequency range.

Are you using the Pre-Amplifier In-Doors in the Shack ?

Or - OutSide the House at/near the Antenna to Coax Cable
Feed-in-Line junction.


i want to know ~ RHF

How would such a device help anywhere but on a DXpedition where the
background noise is very low?
