Hi all, I have a S-9 noise level across the bands and despite some
detective work, I have been unable to locate the source.
I feel that I may have to resort to using a noise canceller in order
to use the bands at the home QTH.
Before I purchase one, I'm wondering if any of the subscribers to
this list use one and if so, how effective are they?
Apologies for the off-topic post but I though I'd canvass opinions
before I buy one.
I have the MFJ. It is quite effective for noises generated by nearby
sources, although you have to fiddle with the knobs a bit for each
individual noise.
The biggest problem is that it has to be in the line to the antenna and
has to switch itself in and out on receive/transmit. This may not be a
big problem with PTT SSB, but it's a bother on CW and pretty much
prevents QSK -- unless you have a rig like the K3 with KXV3 which has
receiver antenna in and out connections.
