... I would like to try the DXE NCC-1 too (have one sitting here) to fight some noise on 80/160m ... I have a Hi-Z 8-circle for RX, TX antenna is a matched tower ... The DXE manual says: The NCC generally works best when both antennas have similar patterns, polarization, and S/N ratios.

Carsten, I use one of mine with a pair of the W8JI style short verticals -- 22 feet high with four 22-foot top-loading wires, and 16 radials each 25 feet long. There is a series inductor and resistor at the feedpoint. These are in a line to make them endfire NE/SW and spaced about 1/8 wave

The most frequent problem (by far) with good noise cancellers is operator related. The second most common problem is antenna choice. Any suggestion on how to use the unit best? Set up another single RX Element? Use 'the tower'? When you mix antennas to make a null, the signal levels

As always, Tom has done a great job educating us on this topic. I completely agree with everything he said about antenna selection for effective noise canceling. Unfortunately it isn't always possible to achieve the ultimate. In some cases it may be possible to achieve some improvement with

What is the best acquisition between Timewave ANC-4 or MFJ-1025? While all of them will work, the Timewave phase adjustment causes a huge change in level. It also has less phase range. That is bad, because you have to go back and forth between the controls more. The phase should really
