Re: [IRCA] ​​"Science Fiction PL-380"-- Pest Control Version

This isn't much different from comparing a 'traditional' tuned air core loop to a similarly sized broadband loop. The signal strength on peak is very different, however the tuned loop also is better at nulling, in part at least due to design differences. The broadband loop of course can be used

--- Begin Message --- Congratulations, Gary. :)  Any chance you could make a video of the nulling ability of the new setup sometime? :) I have a video from about 5 years ago nulling my local 50kW pest, 1170-KCBQ, on the barefoot PL-606.  (Wow where has the time gone?  I find it hard to believe

Hello All,   A brief note to report that my overmodulated local pest, 1450-KSUH (1 kW at 2 miles) has finally succumbed to the pest nulling capability of the new "Pest Control" PL-380.   Increasing operator skill has allowed use of a "tilting function" when the pest is nulled, causing the

So true! I sat down last night and built a couple more matching transformers. I had none to spare before I left, so now I'm back up numbers. They're easier to make in bulk, it seems! 73,...Walt On Sun, Jan 24, 2016 at 3:31 PM, Nick Hall-Patch wrote: > A matching transformer
