what's a good recieve pre amp? the Dosy or the Maco.
It's amazing the things people buy just to hear CB'ers better.

The real problem is that the pre-amps don't accomplish anything. They
are just a gimmick since they are unable to improve the signal-to-noise
ratio. All they do is boost everything... noise and all... LOL
They seem to work fine for FM reception. I can get St.Louis radio stations
with the one I have hooked to the rooftop ant.
I'm not sure about results with AM/SSB CB, except I have worked weak
stations at night with no background noise and it made plenty of difference.
With a lot of background noise most cheap preamps increase the noise along
with the signal. A unit with some selectivity as to what you can filter out
of the amplified signal would be ideal, but probably not monetarily
feasible.
