Looking for some information on  if a pre-amp is needed on my Beverage
plans, I am currently looking at the ZJ Elec. "Beverage Box" with the
pre-amp as this is the only system I have found.




The Beverage plan is to have Ant. #1 at 300' to the south with a
termination of 470 ohm as this is all the room I have going south.  Ant.
# 2 at 450' to the sw with a termination again of 470 ohm.
Ant.#3 at 600' to the east termination of 600 ohm. All three ant. could
be terminated to a wire fence line of aprox. 1 mile long.  The "plan" is
subject to change as per advice.



The question is should I get the pre amp unit or the one with out?



Could one turn off the pre amp if not needed?



I could make the unit, However I would not have the rejection filter's
as ZJ Elec. list's in there information.

Thanks to all for advice on this!
