Hello.

I was able to play with an external preamp on 2m on Sunday and was impressed
on how much easier it made hearing others. Makes me want to add a preamp into
my normal bag of tricks.

I was wondering what the list members are using for a preamp setup. I am
particularly interested in how you handle switching. Most of the models I've
seen are receive only. (The one we tried Sunday was carrier sense, but was 
limited to 25w drive.) Looking at DEM's site the preamp isn't too expensive,
but the RF relays are, particularly since two are required.

Thanks in advance for any advice
