Hi Chuck, Yes, the LNPro Imperium model has higher gain than the other, but also a lower noise floor for overall higher S/N (I just finished documenting this on a weak SQM 529 kHz signal away from the splatter of the rest of the band; I consistently got 6-8 dB better S/N on the LNPro model of loop compared to the S+ Imperium).
Anyway, I was using a better ALA1530 model of antenna than Dave's, and still he was getting improved reception from Rockworks 4 due to noticeable splatter reduction. It was easy to tell by simply listening and looking at the spectrum displays. The measurements just confirmed it. 73, Guy _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
