Hi Jim May I ask you about your system for mixing rx antennas? How do you arrange the double mixing? I have this in mind and I already have a 1026 and could buy a NCC-1. I have a selection of HF aerials going up which I can use for rx on 160, possibly even in diversity mode with the K3. We hav

I have the Timewave, the NCC-1, a MFJ-1026 noise canceller, beverages and commercial mag loops, and my comments are: 1. I find the Timewave Noise reduction is of little value, the K3 NR is superior 2. The Timewave has an EXCELLENT audio amplifier and completely removes the "hash" from the K3

Have to second that Jim, I also had one I tried to use with a Omni 6 plus and it was zero help at all, I tried the speaker mounted version 59 something for the FT-1000D and it also was useless, for me at least, sold both and sure have not missed them. 73 Merv K9FD/KH6 On Fri,1/2/2015 3

For those with the NCC1, how has it been on 20M as that is my worst band (assuming it is 1 type of noise)? It was my local noise that caused me to build my entire remote base. However, the addition of such may help me with using my home station at times. Mike va3mw > ___

I have local noise problems which come and go depending on time of day, day of week etc. I didn't like the idea of having a noise cancelling device in the high power transmit path, so picked up a DX Engineering NCC-1 which is perfect for use with my K3, inserted between the antenna OUT and an

I agree with Eric. You need to solve this on the rf side. You can using a loop receiving antenna and null out the source. Or, something like an ANC4. Mike va3mw > On Jan 2, 2015, at 6:33 AM, Eric Buggee wrote: > >Hi Alan, > > The DSP599zx may well reduce the baseband (audio) noise

Hi Alan, The DSP599zx may well reduce the baseband (audio) noise as demodulated; BUT it will do nothing about the ambient RF pollution on 40m and lower bands. As you rightly conclude in your last paragraph no amount of audio processing is going to remove the noise as received w

Hi all. I have really bad noise floor issues at my home QTH in the UK, especially on 40 metres and below. Some of the issues may be cured as the neighbors’ Christmas lights are packed away for the year. I’ve been recommended to buy a Timewave DSP-599zx DSP filter by someone who does not own a
