Clay, I was in CWU, bandwidth of 1K, and pre-amp off and I measured the noise floor at -114 dBm at 50.125. Interestingly enough, tonight I get -116 dBm. I am using PB-PAL and there was a software revision between measurements, so who knows if that affected anything. it is also now 1:30 a.m. as

Ed, I'm curious what mode, bandwidth and preamp settings you had when you measured the noise floor at -114 dBm. With the internal preamp turned on and my Flex 5000A still connected to the antenna (an M2 6M9KHW at 48'), I have a noise floor of about -119 dBm on 50.125. When I enable the extern

Hi Steve, That you get the noise on the dummy load in the configuration you show increases the chances that the noise is being conducted common-mode. If not, it would be interesting to know the port-to-port isolation numbers for the MAC-200. A quick peek at the manual from the SGC site doesn't

Welcome to the club, Hunter. If you are using PowerSDR v1.18.x, I am afraid that the default settings for ANF are about as good as it is going to get. Both NR and ANF have been significantly improved in the next major version of PowerSDR v2.0.0 due to be out relatively soon (when the FLEX-1500
