The suggestion is to use the two identical receivers in the K3 to null noise and interference. The idea is to connect each receiver to a different antenna so the signals arrive with different phases. The phase difference will generally be different for the desired signal and the interference

Tony, You are looking at information about how to compensate two unequal receivers for true diversity reception - two orthogonally opposed antennas receiving the same signal. The K3 makes that easy with a sub-receiver that is identical with the main receiver and they are phase locked together

Tony, I strongly recommend the DX Engineering NCC-1 for noise cancellation: http://www.dxengineering.com/parts/dxe-ncc-1 It is very effective at nulling out offending noise sources -- BUT, it will do so for only one source at a time. You may find that nulling out one of your sources will

This is normally done ahead of the aerial input and will work with any receiver that supports such an input. Effectively what you are doing is creating a null in the antenna pattern in the direction of the source. It needs an effective point source to work well. If the signal is getting

2015-05-25 Thread Tony McRae
I have been watching some youtube clips showing how by adjusting the phase and amplitude of two received signals on a diversity receiver local noise can be reduced by more than 20db. This would be particularly useful to me as I have the dirtiest plasma TV on one side of me and a gaggle of
