Jim I found the (so called Optimizers) to be VERY Noisy when the Sun is Just starting to hit the Solar Panel ARRAY and the Optimizer it Trying to Balance the Current (load) of ALL the panels. I would Bet the FCC Test are being Run when the Sun is Either Full ON or Full OFF, Not in its Full Dynamic Switching Mode. Ray WA6VAB K3 (sum what Retired)

Slide 213 in this pdf shows what I had to do to kill the trash coming out of their SMALLEST one to use it to power the logging computer for HF mobile contesting! http://k9yc.com/KillingRXNoiseVisalia.pdf My partner in these events, W6GJB, bought one or two sizes up; it was MUCH worse, and there was nothing we could do to make it usable. FCC Part 15 Class B is still a very loose RFI spec, and the specified testing setups fail to reveal the design and construction errors that can cause massive radiated trash. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to wa6...@gmail.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
