Lowe HF-225 whip preamplifier

Note specifically I said input referred noise.

If you don't put gain in the preamplifier (i.e. you do the so-called
impedance only function), then the AGC of the radio will amplify the
noise of the preamp. Since there is no gain in the preamp, you have
the combination of the noise from the preamp and the amplifier (i.e.
AGC) of the radio. If the preamp has some gain, then the AGC will do
less amplification, thus the noise will be dominated by the preamp.
