Thanks to all who responded. Something tells me that I should have known the Tesla would not produce the kind of noise the KNB2 is designed to handle - someone earlier had suggested a buzzer, and my Tesla _buzzes_ like mad - thought it would be perfect.
Maybe I should just be thankful that I live in a relatively quiet location. Unfortunately I can't get my car close enough to the K2 or its antenna to use it as a source. Maybe I'll move the K2 outside when its a bit warmer - snowing right now (perfect for Frostfest tomorrow). Anyway, the DSP sure clobbered the Tesla, so that works great. Thanks again, es 72/73 Tom, KJ3D PS - Ron, I fondly remember the days when high school and college science fairs were full of 8 foot tall Teslas and Van de Graaff generators with 2 foot domes - and a lot of homebrew rock-bound cw rigs - bet you do to. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ron D'Eau Claire As an aside, it is fortunate for me that the sort of noise produced by a Tesla Coil is indistinguishable from common QRN. Many years ago I fired up my prototype 8-foot tall Tesla Coil, excited by a spark gap wired to the A-C mains, and wiped out "I Love Lucy" on TV's for blocks around. My neighbors knew all about the "Ham Kid" in area but they didn't equate a TV screen filled with "snow" with the sort of thing they were used to seeing from my QTH, nor did I feel compelled to enlighten them.
