Hi What you really want is an LNA plus some filtering. MiniCircuits will sell you all sorts of “adequate” amplifiers. They show up surplus for reasonable prices. The key point is that ultra low noise figure it not needed. A 3db NF is just as good as 0.3 db in this case. The antenna sets the noise for the system. ( unless you *really* run out of gain).
