Good hint - tnx Frank.
Will try a mini whip or small loop.

Hi Alan,
The MFJ works very well as a noise eliminator only if the noise antenna
is very close to the noise source, so that the noise is much stronger than
the desired signals. If the noise antenna is receiving about the same
signals as the main antenna the noise elimination function cannot work...

Hi Gernot.
I use an LZ1AQ double mag loop (rotateable) to null out as much hash as
possible. This feeds the RX Ant In input on the K3S. I also have an MFJ
Noise eliminator which is also inline, using the LZ1AQ as the main (RX)
antenna and I've tried a couple of antennas (including my HF vertical)
as the 'noise' antenna and I don't find any noise suppression by phase
elimination with the MFJ. I've yet to try a mini-whip antenna as the
'noise' antenna. I actually wonder if the MFJ unit is faulty, as I've
heard that other people have at least noticed a small difference when
using it. Once/if I get the MFJ untit to work, I may then buy one of the
more expensive noise eliminators.

Subject: [Elecraft] Diversity receive versus QRM eliminators
Hello all,
In a recent rush to eliminate urban noise I bought an QRM eliminator.
The working principle is to null out signals by shifting the phases of
two antennas (one main/tx and one rx). I can see the effect sometimes,
but it is not the holy grail for all types of QRM. I still don't get rid
of the PSU/LED/plasmaish noise here, sometimes the S/N is a bit better
but maybe thats my inner impression to justify buying this thing.
Now, I do wonder how this differs from diversity receive, effectively
versus local QRM.
Note I have a 10m vertical as the 2nd ant, while the main ant is horizontal.
Any thoughts or hints ?
tnx 73 Gernot DF5RF
