[Elecraft] Advanced Receiver Research P50VDG 6M Preamp

[Jim Rogers]

I love my K3s and have been using the K3s' built in preamp on 50MHz 
meteor scatter and have made many contacts with it. Today I got an ARR 
P50VDG out of the closet and hooked it up to the K3s. This little GasFet 
really cooks! .5dB NF, 24dB gain. I was amazed at the difference. Sorry 
K3s, the P50VDG will remain in place!

I also have in my 2M setup (K3s/K144XV) an ARR SP144VDG RF switched 
preamp in the coax line from the K3s/K144XV to the BEKO HLV-1000 amp. 
The experience with that addition to the shack is what drove me to check 
out the P50VDG. I am glad I did.

For all of you HFers moaning over the conditions, come on up to the 
higher frequencies and have some fun on meteor scatter or moon bounce.
