Default 2-meter Preamp?

I am looking for ways to improve my receive for 2-meter SSB weak signal
work. I am running an Icom 706 MkIIG and a M2 5WL yagi. I understand mast
mounted preamps bring the signal up significantly.
Doe any one here use one for 2M SSB? What are your experiences?

Thanks
Russ

It may not be worth the bother for low power. The receive preamp won't help
them hear you any better. At a KW output, you would want to do it for sure.
Meanwhile, make sure you are using low loss coax. That will help both
receive and transmit.
