		Even though some such preamps can yield noise figures less than 1 db, they are highly susceptible to intermodulation problems, and can cause "birdies" to appear all over the 2 meter band when used in locations where there is a lot of transmitted rf in the VHF bands.
		These preamps may work ok if you happen to live on a south sea island where there is no other RF signals, otherwise, avoid them.
		Any preamp placed ahead of the receiver (preferably as close to the antenna as possible) must be protected from "burnout" when transmitting by some type of protective relay switching circuit.
