Blowing air onto the PA allows you to put a filter on the fan input to catch dust and dirt. Doing the reverse pulls unfiltered air into the PA and you can get a big pileup of junk on the PA. (Including and occasion bug or two). Joe Daron J. Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: OK, this

Hi What you need is hybrid a ring isolator that uses one cavity and some specific phasing lines and that will notch out a close frequency as you discribed. They do have a little loss of around 2 dB's but are very sharp on the nulling out .If tweaked properly one can get about 45-60 db isolation.
