Tim, I own SSB preamps, the SP-2000 (2 meter) and SP-7000 (70 cm). They have worked very well for me, both on my Icom IC-821 (powered by the radio) and with my FUNcube Dongle (powered with an external bias-T from ARR). The SSB preamps have helical filters on the front end which should help in

All of the failures were specifically attributed to either a stuck relay in the control box, a manual switch sticking (not releasing) on the front rotor control panel, and a software or computer crash that continued to drive one of the up, down, left, or right control lines. 73, Tim - N8DEU
