Review on ๐Ÿ“ป HiLetgo 0.1-2000MHz RF WideBand Amplifier: High Gain Low Noise LNA for Enhanced Signal Performance by Stephen Vasquez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great LNA when used with a Youloop passive loop antenna for amazing results

Using 6 AA batteries to get 9 volts and with a 315mA fuse (just in case) I have this one LNA installed directly on the Youloop antenna in a weatherproof box. The signal goes through a 100 foot cable to my radio room. It works fantastically well. Calm. It's reliable, and this $45 combo outperforms one of my (very famous) $350 loop antennas on most shortwave HF bands except MW. It performs close, if not as well, to my best loop antenna, the $300 MFJ-1886. But there is one exception. At 22m, my Youloop LNA Combo outperforms the MFJ-1886 in my opinion. I regularly listen to New Zealand which is almost 9,000 miles away on 13.840MHz and this LNA/Youloop combo far outperforms my more expensive loops. At the time of writing this article, I have been using this LNA for three weeks. Here is a picture of my setup. Youloop is not suitable for outdoor use unless it is weatherproof. The box below contains the LNA. I feed the LNA through a 16 gauge swivel wire cable and its power source is in the radio room. By the way, this LNA works well with 6 batteries (1.2V) with a total voltage of 7.2V.
