Hi Paul, K6HR The SSB and CW sensitivity of an IC 821H in 70 cm is less than 0.11uV for a Signal to Noise ratio S/N= 10 dB Converting the above data into Noise Figure NF in dB we get: -6 2 ( Vin x 10) x 20 NF

I don't think this statement is correct: "Since the NF of a AR SP432VDA is 0.55 dB and the gain is 15 dB if the coax..." The 2meter VDA has a noise figure great than 1, stated to be about 1.1 dB NF; the difference is more than just gain. Thus the reason I suggest that he get the 2 meter VDG mod
