I live out in the country in the rural Virginia mountainside and I am now picking up Chesapeake State Police on STARS over 145 miles away.

Just received mine and installed in line using LMR 400 Cable.It was the best money I have spent and I have been in the scanner hobby for 35 years. Even if the cable attenuation on the 4m and 6m bands is not as high as on 2m, the antennas are larger and therefore the gain is smaller - this can be.

Because of this unit, I will likely NOT need to mount an antenna externally and may just opt for an attic install. No spot around my house seems to have good reception and as far as line of sight, there are a bunch of Appalachin mountain ridges between them and me.

During electromagnetic interference testing the preamplifier is usually located. I love in a Valley and I just barely had reception for the digital trunking system I’m most interested in listening to. Preamplifiers are used to amplify weak electrical signals captured by antennas. Lenny Mansell from Huntington, WV United Statesīeen using it for about a day now. I highly recommend this unit, especially if you live in rural area. I'm using it on two different hand held scanners and it has greatly increased their performance. John Lafontaine from Grand Prairie, TX United States Don't waste your money.ħ of 7 people found the following review helpful: You have a knob to turn up the power but don’t have one to turn up the received S/N. It is a great complement to vertical or wire transmit antennas. While the M75 is built better than the GRE Super Amplifier, it does not outperform the GRE Super Amplifier. The W6LVP mag loop is a complete receive antenna system delivering top-of-the-line performance to amateur radio operators and SWLs particularly for those with space and/or budget limitations. Virtually no amplifying of signal for me. 0 of 0 people found the following review helpful:īrian Mathews from Luray, VA United States
