I built the 7 pole Low pass filter in the handbook to put in the receive loop on my 5000A. KFAN runs 50kw to a 9 ele vertical array and I'm directly in their main lobe at 9 miles away. There signal level at my antenna is sometimes over 0 dBm and causes broad noise on 160m and 75m and a

You will also find the choke method I mentioned earlier will also provide additional filtering. I have a friend of mine who lives about 3km from an AM Broadcast station and once he started to add common mode chokes, his problems disappeared. 73 On Thu, Jun 2, 2011 at 12:26 PM,

SRI... this discussion probably isn't that relevant on this list, but... Your chart is quite good. Thank you. Regardless, I would suggest losing the dial frequencies altogether. As a very almost exclusively digi-mode operator, and only being a ham for 5 years or so, I have never

Steven, If I understand your problem correctly and you have a good termination on all receive ports and still see signals on various bands, this maybe an elevated noise floor generated by RF switching that Flex produces and is easily recognized around the 800-900khz band. Flex explained these
