easily.

The Lowe preselectors are very rare in Europe. These are one of the best
preselectors ever made -except some military grade stuff- and worth
every cent.

Do any other preselectors work well with this radio? But, yes, that PS looks
nice too.

The "Braun" preselector. It's better and even more rare and pricey.
The Yaesu FRT-7700 works fine with my Sony 2001D/2010.
This discontimued item sells used for the price as it was new....

I just don`t know a really good preselector wich is still manufactured.

I have it too :-)
I have nodified it to feed an external antenna with BNC connector. So it
makes a fine selective HF preamp. I've this thing cascaded with the
FRT-7700.
It works fine with my Sony but it doesn't make anything better on my
NRD-525.

You can run it active with a 9 volt battery too.
But, the 150 has a built in preamp. But that's only for the whip right?
Still, you can clip a longwire to the antenna.

This idea ist not that good for me. I like to feed the preamp with a
sinal from the attic 6th floor (my appartment is on base floor) and not
with computer noise :-) There are some unused chimneys I run some
coax-feedlines through. Unfortunately I'm forbidden to go on top of the
roof :-((

I'm pretty sure it's set up like the 7030. The whip connects to the regular
antenna jack. You can use the preamp with any antenna, but if it's a large one,
you should expect overloading.

The best:
PASSIVE preselector: RF Systems P-3
