A lot of the FM & repeater guys use Ar² LNA's.

I'd like to enhance 2m simplex abilities and pull in weaker SOTA activators. 
Often times they hear me but I do not hear them. Increasing my antenna 
capability would help (of course). But I can't run a beam mobile.

I'm looking for a reasonable LNA to pull out these weaker ones on 146.52, etc. 
But many of the LNAs I see are for the SSB side of things.

Is there a LNA that I could use for FM?

Ideally I'd be able to use it mobile too. I run 65w on a 5/8s whip, seemingly 
everyone hears me, but I struggle to hear some of them. The Kenwood 2m mobile 
has an awful NF I guess, so I am hoping a LNA can help that.

Ideas?
