OK Bazz and Jeremy, then it sounds like a pre-amp as described.
Cirkit also did something tiny for 2m with a 3SK88 if I recall.

My Mutek equipped 221 does have some surprising behaviour.

I have never detected any signs of instability from it, but sometimes it hears far off things you might not expect to hear. Then you find it doesn't even have an antenna connected.

Sounds strange? It certainly is.
