Soup-up your antenna system and pull the weak ones with this easy-to-build LNA (low noise amplifier). heres a high gain, low noise preamp that will work wonders for your scanner or ham-band receiver.

Unlike low-cost GaAsFET preamps, Vectronics kits use a high quality microwave type bipolar device for exceptional low-noise performance and immunity from damaging electrostatic discharge. A high-Q LC tuned input filter fights overload from out-of-band signals, and careful output matching ensures efficient energy transfer into your 50-Ohm feedline. will cover near-by out-of-band commercial channels with only minor returning.
