Dirty little man, talking about those foul gadgets.
Every time someone buys an ISM amp, Satan eats a baby.
Amps are evil, evil I tell you.



seriously tho, thought-police caricatures aside, the decent ISM amps are mounted
at the antenna to minimize SNR and loss. Plus they're bidirectional. Receive
only amps don't make lots of sense in most circumstances, but a good
bidirectional amp is a boon to those in wireless-unfriendly areas.
HyperLink I think they are in the US make better ones.
But I've been thinking of getting an MGram amp, they look ok.
See I can talk about amplifiers because I'm going to hell anyways ;)



later
