New milair setup

[zguy1243]

After years of using consumer grade equipment for my hobby of listening to milair stuff I have decided to spend a bit more and get some new toys. Here is what I have purchased to act as a single frequency DX setup for milair. This should be a great compliment to my scanners.

Angle linear Hi Level PHEMT Preamp custom built by AngleLinear tuned to 225-400Mhz. Approx 20Db gain and less than .5 db Noise figure. WWW.ANGLELINEAR.COM

Lark engineering 225-400Mhz tunable bandpass filter, 5% percent filter. 40db down at 15mhz from center freq at 300mhz and so on in the band. Dial tuned for center freq of pass band from 225-400Mhz. Around .5 db insertion loss. This thing is rack mount too. Kinda cool. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...MEWN:IT&viewitem=&item=250082401411&rd=1&rd=1

As-1604/G Military Log Periodic(of course). Added a CDE Ham II rotor to make this thing a bit easier to deal with. (refer to my previous post for pics of this)

All of this ran into my Icom R8500. I will post pics when i get the preamp and the Bandpass filter in the mail.

Comments welcome..

Nice to see somebody spending the $$$ for quality equipment to further enjoy the hobby.

I've seen those Lark bandpass units before and I've pondered buying one. I'm interested in hearing about how it performs.

I Have a source for the Lark filters just like this. The guy has six in stock. If you are interested in one pm me. I also will be writing a review of the filter when I get it in next week to let those interested know how it performs.
