    Ive played with the noise eleminators. Works alright for base but looking for a mobile idea. I have one in the mobile but it's just not very mpressive. My base I use a 100ft longwire for the noise antenna. On the mobile it's a 4'whip

    Grant xl noise blanker design

    I think I'd like to build a noise blanker like the one in the old grant xl radios. Does anyone have a good idea of figuring out the circuit? I suppose the schematic would be a place to start.

    Rm Italy low pass filter works

    Your right. No cmc fix. I have the filter between the tuner and the antenna. I need to drag out the vna and see what it’s doing there and then move it to between the radio and the tuner and see.

    Rm Italy low pass filter works

    I bought a rmitaly 27/586 filter looking to fix some issues. And it worked. 20m does not bleed over the surround sound anymore. The swr on all the bands have been improved and the auto atu does not have to tune near as much on my off center dipole. So the common mode currents have been handled.

    Band pass filter

    I do have a phase eliminator. Works well. Just looking for more. And I’d love it if there was something? Anything? For mobile work to block out car leds, street lamp leds and just noise noise noise. Which is why I was wondering about a bpf.

    Poor ft847 receive 10m repair

    I’ve been fooling with a yaesu that’s been giving me fits over the receive sensitivity. It only affected the 10, 12, 17 bands. It still had rx but unless I ran the preamp it was super low. Figured I had blown it. Instead of looking into it I felt super lazy because I figured it was all smd...

    My guess is he’s after a fix for the narrow receiver. Makes it sound like crap

    Building a Capacitor Discharge Stick…Chicken Stick…Jesus Stick

    ok seriously, i dont know if its heavy enough. the amount of discharge energy from a resistor blowing apart can be immense. you have potential arc flash at the point of separation and shrapnel from the insulated rod.
