Looking for plans for a 2 meter preamp which I intend on using for
144MHz SSB/CW work.

There are lots of published designs for low noise
preamps for 2M. The Mitsubishi MGF1302 seems to
be the most popular device for homebrew VHF/UHF
preamps. I use the MGF1302 in my preamps for
2M, 70CM and 23CM.


Use your favourite search engine to search for:
low noise GaAsFET preamp for 2M

See YU1AW's excellent designs at:
http://www.qsl.net/yu1aw/engl.htm

See W5UN's MGF1302 preamp at:

It must be very good because he can sometimes
hear my puny 250W to a single 9 element Yagi
on EME.


I would like it if the plans should also be able
to handle 100 Watts from the tranceiver.

For high power on VHF, you should use good
quality co-ax relays and a sequencer.

The ARRL handbook has some good designs for
2M preamps and an RX/TX sequencer.

73, C U on 2M.
