Labgear MSE113 aerial booster.

Found this old timer in the shed, its aerial in and one output only so it
can't be for anything but boosting, there's no gain figure marked on the
label and an internet search only found forums with other people asking the
same question.

Does anyone know the spec for this unit?

TIA.

Had anyone tried emailing Labgear?

Just done - but putting the model number in the search box on their website
gives no results, so I won't hold my breath.

Once most companies stop making a product they practically deny it ever
existed!

No, but guessing that it came from the days before incomprehensible
computerised part numbers became the norm, when many manufacturers used
model numbers that actually translated into something useful ...

.... I'd guess something on these lines:

M Mains operated
SE Model type identifier
1 Single output
13 13dB Gain

I could, of course, be completely wrong ...!

Labgear were swallowed up by Philex in 2004 and their product lines and
market position changed markedly.
I suspect anything from before that date may be meaningless to the new boys.

You would think that the spec would be out there somewhere. Although
Labgear+MSE113 gets lots of hits on Google, lot seem to be dead ends,
and those which aren't don't give you the spec.

Andy Wade will know. If you're really bothered email him care of Blakes,
Sheffield.

Well, IIRC, the MSE113 was a 1-in 1-out 'setback' amp made for the
retail market (probably Argos). The gain will be in the 12 to 15 dB
range at UHF and I think it had VHF coverage down to 88 MHz with the
gain throttled back a bit in the VHF bands. The noise figure is likely
to be 2.5 to 3 dB.

I'll have a look in my archives next week - I might be able to find an
instruction leaflet.

Especially when they changed hands so much in between. Probably a Pye badge
engineered job?
I have a Televerter like that here.

My email bounced so whoever they are now they don't want to help!

It would be much better if you followed the widely accepted convention by
not top posting - it chops up the quoted text making the thread a PITA to
read.
