My 22 year old Landwehr VHF preamp finally gave it up.
I'd appreciate leads on high quality mast mounted preamps for VHF.? AR2
doesn't answer their phone and some uni's I work with say it takes days
to get a call back then AR2 didn't have the one they wanted and said
they would not be making any more.? And SSB USA's recording says they
are only available sporadically.? Looks like I can order direct from SSB
in Germany so that's an option.
Are there any low noise RF switched manufacturers/vendors in the U.S.
these days? Where are folks getting preamps these days?

I find myself in the same boat! I've always depended on ARR for preamps, but
they told me material cost to build the units will run the price up too
much, so they decided to stop making the 2 M preamp I need.
Here is one you might want to look into Jim. I've only used Mirage for their
pw amps in the past, but have been fairly satisfied with their product and
repair service.

That did the trick. Seems weird that the version number didn't increment
with the new feature release.
Anything else fun that was updated at the same time as increasing the

You might check out SHF Elektronic
http://www.shf-elektronik.de/en/
I use their 903 and 2304 preamps. Work well and a lot of options.

Not U.S., but much more reasonably priced than some of the others, and
I've been very pleased with the "Mini" pre-amps from their catalog:

This one looks like a good design:

I made this offer to Jim, so he has first option.
I have both a ARR144vdg and 432vdg in excellent condition excess to my
