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

Stack another yagi so you can reply to what you hear.


If he has room for it, this may very well be the best way to go. Gets away
from finding an amp that can take 500W on transmit, and does away with
complicated sequencing, which, if not done right could blow the amp if you
accidentally use VOX. For starters, replacing the 706 will probably result
in the best fun factor.
