PRE-AMPLIFIER 

 

               

EME157B2 

 

 

Rev4

 

to mainly reduce the gain to a more suitable level of around 

16dB which seems to be a good level.  This can be changed 

to suit your application, but should be a minimum of 3dB to 

help protect the pre-amplifier from RF when in TX mode.  If 

the Transceiver that you are using has an RF attenuator, then 

It is recommended that this be turned on to reduce the re-

ceiver gain back to a suitable level when used with the pre-

amplifier.  This will help with receiver overload from strong 

signals, and give a better gain distribution while still getting the 

low noise benefit of the pre-amplifier.  

 

2.  

If your Transceiver does not have a preamp switch that can 

feed DC power out the antenna socket, then the  Mini-Kits 

EME168 Bias Tee Kit can be used. Please see the webpage.
