Topband: Rx antenna, Rf Limiter & preamp sequence

[Gary Smith]

Hi,

I've just picked up a used HI-Z triangular 
antenna array & wonder where I might best 
insert my ICE RF limiter/arrestor (model 
196) & the in-line preamp. 

I'm guessing to not overload the preamp 
and attenuate any spikes coming from 
nearby Rf or lightning strikes, the 
limiter would come first & the preamp 
afterward? 

Would these be best placed near the 
antenna or inside the shack?

The amount I don't know is impressive...

Thanks,

Gary
