Hi Ralph, To get it drunk and try and take advantage of it at the drive in..? :-) No, not really... **** Actually... To have a really good look at the design, engineering, construction and performance of the GLB Pre-amplifers Pre-amplifier circuits are common... but good performing fairly selective pre-amplfiers are not as common. I used a surplus GLB Preamplifier to help solve a problem (fix a 222 MHz repeater receiver issue). I am more than casually impressed with how well the GLB units for what they are perform. GLB Preamps are expensive versus a common ARR Gasfet or Bipolar Preamp. So it would be nice to see what makes one tick (examine the circuit engineering, it's layout and performance).
