Radioman:
If you can deal with some questiosn from a neophyte SWL'er using a
TenTec RX 320

I am "apartmented" and am Using stealth antennas, short random wires,
slinkies, verticals, and wonder if such a device will be of benefit.

Is it redundant or conflict with with the active antenna of the RX 320
(I'm told it doesnt function unless RX 320 whip is in service...it isnt)

Current antenna uses home mande 9:1 balun ...will it have to be shunted
for the MFJ 1040B to work best?

My Goal to enhance signal strength and seperate overlapping signals

The MFJ-1040B preselector boosts signals from 1.8 to 54 MHz. It utilizes
dual gate MOSFET, bipolar transistors for low noise and high gain.
Push-button switches provide for two receivers, two antennas, 20 dB
attenuator and ON/BYPASS. The band switch selects: 1.8-3, 3-6, 6-15 and
15-60 MHz. Controls for Delay, Gain, Band and Tune. Unlike most
preselectors, which are for receive-only, the MFJ-1040B may be used for
transceiver. It has a relay that automatically bypasses the amplifier when
transmitting. It can handle a transmit signal up to 350 watts PEP.

Rear panel jacks provide for the use of either RCA phono plugs or PL-259
connectors. Size: 6 x 2 x 6 inches. Comes with optional 12 VDC 300ma AC
Adapter.

Works perfectly but has some scratches on top. Asking $75 which includes
shipping to CONUS.
