Am contemplating a purchase of a DXE NCC-1 receiving antenna/noise phasing unit very soon (tomorrow, actually---so I will have it in time for the WPX next weekend) for use with my K3/P3/KPA500 and was wondering if anyone else in the group uses one and how they have it configured. Apparently I will either need to run it via my RX antenna jack or else with a sequencing unit (or RTR-1A controller that DXE also sells) if I want to run it inline with my main antennas. My main usage will be for the reduction of RFI that I am often subject to here in our condo complex (plasma or LCD TVs, wall warts and other electronic RF garbage producers nearby). I currently use an old JPS ANC-4 with its attached noise receiving whip that works fairly well---but could still be much better. (I don't plan to buy the active antennas that DXE also sells with or without the NCC-1; at least not for any foreseeable future). I also use my Elecraft PR6 6M preamp affixed via the XVTR or RX antenna BNC jacks and am wondering if I can run the NCC-1 through it with or without the PR6 being on (I have it wired so that the PR6 activates only when I am on 6M, IIRC)---but I am getting older these days and am more easily confused/dyslexic when it comes to IN/OUT jacks than I used to. Will it be fairly easy to run both together or will it require removing the PR6 if I want to run the NCC-1 through the RX ports? Any user comments or thoughts on the subject will be appreciated; I have seen a few YouTube videos on the NCC-1 and it looks like it can be very effective on QRN coming from one particular source (like my ANC-4 but even noticeably better). It certainly will be fun to see the noise disappear or fall dramatically on my P3, too! 73, Jeff, NH7RO K3/P3/KPA500
