This low cost Receive Only 70cm 430MHz Pre-amplifier has been designed to be easy to construct and can be center frequency tuned for use between 400 and 500MHz, and is suitable for the 420 to 450MHz amateur band. This Pre-amplifier has the option of being powered via the coaxial cable, and is very suitable for retrofitting inside older transceivers to improve the weak signal gain. A low cost BF998 MesFET has been used as it has very good characteristics on the VHF to UHF bands. The BF988 was specifically designed for television tuners and has a low <1dB NF @ 800MHz, along with high cross modulation performance.
