Aloha All, One thing I'm learning from a good friend, KH6ZX is the use of a magnetic loop receiving antenna such as a Wellbrook AL1530. I believe from reading the K3 manual that with the KXV3 transverter (for the P3, sorry I may have the model number wrong), it automatically switches between receive and transmit and is great in cutting noise. I'm looking into purchasing one.

Both units had their pros and cons but after using both, I can say that in practical use neither one out- performs the other. The ANC-4 is more compact and more sturdily constructed, so I ended up keeping that. Neither will deal with all kinds of noise, so these units are no panacea, but when they do work well on a particular noise source, they work very well. I have been able to reduce some S7 noise to virtually nothing. Subjective, I know, but impressive when you witness the effect yourself. My only other observation is that the noise antenna is critical. It needs to be sited carefully in relation to the noise source and your station antenna and be broadbanded. The short lengths of wire and whip antennas supplied with these units are useless for anything other than local noise sources from within in your shack. It's worth experimenting with various noise antennas till you find one that works well. Best of luck. 73, John VK7JB ------------------------------------------------------------ This email was sent from Netspace Webmail: http://www.netspace.net.au ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
