I am working on a project for receiving a very narrow bandwidth signal

suggestions?


I haven't seen the original post, but are you building some type of
clock receiver ? Those work for a year with a single battery.

What kind of antenna are you using ? Do you really need a preamp ?

Do you have room for a tank circuit (L/C) on the collector/drain ?
