Do you need a wideband masthead preamplifier for your Funcube dongle?

John, G4BAO has a kit consisting of a PCB and all the components for the wideband amplifier project published in RadCom March 2010. These are still available although limited stock.

There is now a modification which can significantly reduce the noise flaw. Please see http://homepage.ntlworld.com/john.g4bao/Files/WBA2.pdf for more details.

Full kit prices are:

  • Wideband Amp Full kit £33.00
  • Bias Tee Full Kit (short PCB) £17.00
  • plus £2 postage and packing for UK.
