I highly recommend the High Sierra Microwave LNAA146FIL. It's a 2 meter preamp with filtering on both the input and output. I don't have a FUNcube dongle, but I use an Icom IC-R10 receiver which has a wide front end near central Washington, DC. The preamp has eliminated the intermod and receiver artifacts from this high RF area and amplifies the satellite signals nicely.
