I was looking around online today and I noticed that DX Engineering and MFJ Enterprises makes noise cancelers. They go between antenna and xcvr. transceiver ->noise canceler-> antenna and tuner. Evidently they alter the antenna pattern and blank out noise. Of course, if the RFI and the signal you want are in the same direction, that is a problem. How well do they work ? Do they work at all ? Thanks. |

I'll be moving to a rural area in a few months... so it looks like by the time I can buy this, I'll no longer need it. |

I have an MFJ-1025. If the second antenna is placed to pick up as much of the noise as possible, they work very well indeed. However, they only null one noise source at a time. http://www.w8ji.com/mfj-1025_1026.htm 73, Mike www.w0btu.com |

I did the rf choke balun between my xcvr and my antenna mentikoned in the book 'Stealth Antennas'. I can now hear some local hams on various bands. |
