As a utility guy (System Protection) I can agree with Lee. If you have a pole from which the noise is coming, call the utility company. It could be loose hardware, loose ground or, as in my case, one of those pesky LAs (lightening arrestors). It could take a bit of time but you'll be glad when i

Brian, Have no idea what a PLT adapter is... Of course the first thing that came to mind with the new antenna and drop in noise was that the new antenna was a partial dummy load. I can report that this is not the case. ~Guy W6NJX On 5/27/2011 4:16 AM, G3VGZ wrote: Guy Harris wrote:

Depends on what you want to play it back with. For using PowerSDR as the "player", use pre-processed audio at any sampling rate. For a standard Wave file player, use post-processed audio at a 48KHz sampling rate. -Tim -Original Message- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailt
