Re: [Elecraft] (ot) noise reduction resources

2024-04-05 Thread Fred Jensen
FWIW: I see that regularly, in short bursts.  Midday, just watching 80 
while otherwise occupied, those multiple very narrow carriers come up 
for anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two, and then disappear. 
Oddly, but thankfully, I'm not plagued with SMPS type noise ... well, 
except when I was trying to work TX5S.  I don't know what the carriers 
are from but they look like a steady CW carrier, not noise.


Any email list on mailman.qth.net will strip all but plain ASCII text. 
Emails sent in HTML likewise.  It's not Elecraft censoring anything, 
just the way the email list software is built.

Elecraft's own list is for support of ALL their products.  Some guys 
wanted a list dedicated to the K3, so started their own. That's the 
groups.io list. There's another groups.io list dedicated to the K4.


Elecraft is NOT doing censorship, it's simply a text only list, because 
they started it 25+ years ago. I started reading it in 2003 when I 
bought a used K2. I'm not aware of them ever censoring anything. Indeed, 
the two owners of the company read their list every day and have been 
known to chime in to solve problems. Several times over the years, I've 
seen Wayne or Eric get involved to solve problems with guys on remote 
DXpeditions.


WE6R is one of several hams who work on a service bench there. He's been 
reading the kK3 list for a year or two. I think Wayne and/or Eric might 
browse it now and then. I live about 20 miles from Elecraft, so know 
these guys and several others.

Re: [Elecraft] (ot) noise reduction resources

2024-03-29 Thread Michael Carter via Elecraft
Hi Robert,

You've used the term 'receiver noise', but specifically
mentioned heterodynes and harmonics as being of
concern.  All receivers, Elecraft not excluded, have
internal spurious signals generated in the VFO and
BFO circuits as well as clocks for digital circuits in the
radio.  The best way to identify internal spurious signals
is to remove the antenna(s) from the radio, terminate
the antenna ports in 50 ohm dummy loads, and then
carefully sweep the bands of concern to see if anything
is audible.  Internal spurs will typically be insensitive
to front-end gain/attenuation settings, but may vary
in strength with IF gain controls (e.g., the K2 has IF
gain control even though labeled as RF gain).  If
you have a second, different radio, try the same experiment
and see if the spurious carriers are replicated on it.

Switch-mode power converters are ubiquitous these
days and generate buzzy, drifting harmonics of the
switching frequency.  Turn off power to your entire
house, power your radio from a battery source, and
see if you still hear such signals.  Finding these sources
is easy, if a bit time consuming, once you've determined
they're on your local AC circuits.

Ethernet signaling is long understood to generate
clock/data signals that are audible in the ham bands.
These signals can be identified once found on the
receiver by turning off (including any UPS-powered)
routers/switches that use Ethernet cabling.

Dave, NK7Z, has a nice tutorial on methods to
identify RFI sources generally:
https://www.nk7z.net/category/info/rfi-mitigation/i-have-rfi-series/

It sounds like you've done the good work of
grounding and bonding, which can help with
self-induced RFI (ask me how I know!), but it
won't address RFI sources such as internal
spurs in the radio or the other predominant
sources cited above.

73,
Mike, K8CN

I'd appreciate any info on sites/resources to help with receiver noise 
mitigation. I'm especially interested in identifying the source of 
heterodynes and harmonics that appear on some bands but not others. 15m 
seems to be particularly vulnerable. I'm familiar with W9YC's papers on 
this topic [very good]. The station here is all Elecraft and pretty well 
bonded and grounded. Thanks in advance.

[Elecraft] OT: Noise Reduction (NR) in FM Mode

2008-06-06 Thread Ron D'Eau Claire
Yeah, it's been all too many years, but hard limiters were not used in many
designs and no FM detector is completely immune to noise. 

It brings back memories of just how loud and strong ignition impulse noise
used to be back in the 50's before anyone did anything to suppress it! Used
to roar through on 2 meter AM in the home station from cars hundreds of
yards away at times!

I was kidding about Motorola/ Working in land mobile with E.F. Johnson
equipment, "Motorola" was always in our sights ;-) We did very well in the
San Francisco area because we did have superior repeater sites. The Motorola
gear was very good stuff as was the E.F. Johnson.

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Noise Reduction?

2004-12-13 Thread Robert
It's doubtful you will be able to do this without some digital 
processing involved. 
You need to sample the signal and then apply adaptive digital filtering 
with the ability to decern between noise and voice signals.  What you're 
asking is a very complicated thing to do.  Analogue will give you 
filtering but will not be able to get rid of all the noise since noise 
itself is a complex waveform.


If you want to try a noise gate, you may get some success.  Several used 
Behringer gear found on ebay have noise gates for not alot of money.


To some extent, DSP can do what you're asking as long as the noise is 
not really strong.  Then again, DSP will reduce the noise by the amount 
of Noise Reduction capable within the unit.


I think what you're trying to do is build an adaptive squelch.  There 
are people working on this very concept right now.

Hello elecrafters,
i am looking for a device to reduce/eliminate the noise of a 2m ssb-receiver.

What the circuit should do: Reduce (or eliminate) the noise of the rx
when no signal is present, like a squelch, but much faster.

It should be an analog device, not a dsp-device.
It should be external ( e.g. input from the receiverŽs headphone
jack).

Background: A friend of mine runs a transponder 144Mhz ssb -> 432Mhz
fm.
The fun with ssb input and fm output is that 2 or more persons
can have a conference like on the telephone. There is no
interference (whistles when 2 signals present) like on fm , because there is no 
carrier in ssb.

We would like to eliminate or reduce the noise in the pauses.
I heard that musicians use a so called ŽnoisegateŽ, but could not find
any circuit on the web.

Any ideas anyone?
Lyle Johnson?

[Elecraft] OT: Noise Reduction?

2004-12-13 Thread Martin
Hello elecrafters,
i am looking for a device to reduce/eliminate the noise of a 2m ssb-receiver.

What the circuit should do: Reduce (or eliminate) the noise of the rx
when no signal is present, like a squelch, but much faster.

It should be an analog device, not a dsp-device.
It should be external ( e.g. input from the receiverŽs headphone
jack).

Background: A friend of mine runs a transponder 144Mhz ssb -> 432Mhz
fm.
The fun with ssb input and fm output is that 2 or more persons
can have a conference like on the telephone. There is no
interference (whistles when 2 signals present) like on fm , because there is no 
carrier in ssb.

We would like to eliminate or reduce the noise in the pauses.
I heard that musicians use a so called ŽnoisegateŽ, but could not find
any circuit on the web.

Any ideas anyone?
Lyle Johnson?
