Re: Topband: magnetic loops, DXE vs Wellbrook

I contacted Andrew Ikin of Wellbrook to make him aware of this customers 
problem.
Andrew asked me to send WW3S a pm with Andrew's contact details so that he can 
try to resolve the problem.

Subject: Topband: magnetic loops, DXE vs Wellbrook


I have used a DXE loop (formerly Pixel) for the last couple of seasons 
with fairly good success from my small lot. I was able to get a 
Wellbrook loop this year as well, and in testing, notice quite a 
difference between the two.the Wellbrook is very noisy compared to 
the DXE, and I'm wondering if I have it installed correctly. It seems 
pretty straight forward to hook up, but since I dont have the manual, 
wondering if there is anything maybe I overlooked.with the DXE, the 
band noise present on my inverted L just about completely disappears 
when I switch to the loop, but with the Wellbrook, I notice very little 
difference.any using a Wellbrook that could share some tips/notes?

Perhaps the DXE does a better job of isolating the loop from the 
transmission line?  Only guessing -- I know nothing about either loop.
