FO&A,


Which Noise Cancelling Antenna Would You Choose ?


Timewave [JPS] ANC-4 RF Noise Cancellerhttp://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/filters/0094.htmlhttp://www.ti...


MFJ-1025/1026 Noise Cancelling Enhancershttp://www.universal-radio..com/catalog/preamps/3541.htmlhttp://www.mf...


Why 'Choose' One Noise Cancelling Antenna over the other ?


Do You Use One of these Two Noise Cancelling Antennas ?


Do You Like the Noise Cancelling Antenna ?


Do You Get the ResuLts You Wanted with the Noise Cancelling Antenna ?


Would You Buy a Noise Cancelling Antenna again ?


Have You Tried a Noise Cancelling Antenna and Don't Like It ?


i want to know - iane ~ RHF

I have the ANC-4 from back in the day (JPS). It workes with my long
wire. I can't get it to work with the Wellbrook though others have
claimed to do so.- Hide quoted text -

M...Sushi,


My use/application would be with an Inverted "L" Antenna; plus
a Snake {Coax Cable} 15 Foot Vertical Antenna located outside
as the Noise {Sense} Antenna.

-I have the Timewave unit and like it very much. I use it with
-a Wellbrook ALA-330S, using an active whip as the 'sense
- antenna'. It's made a big difference for me and I've never
- regretted buying it.
-
- I've never used the MFJ unit so I can't comment on its
- effectiveness.

Addition Thoughts and Comments :

One of the things that I like about the MFJ-1025/1026
Noise Cancelling Antenna {Phasers} is the fact that they
have a SO-239 Jack for the Auxiliary {Noise} Antenna.http://www.universal-radio.com/catal.../3542rear.html

While the Timewave [JPS] ANC-4 RF Noise Canceller
uses an RCA Jack for the Noise Antenna [J1]http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/preamps/0094dia.html

I plan on using a 15 Foot Vertical 'Snake' Antenna made
out of a single piece of Coax Cable for the Noise {Sense}
Antenna with the Noise Cancelling Combiner/Phaser.
I want this Noise {Sense} Antenna about 25 away from
the House to pick-up the local outside Noise.http://groups.google.com/group/rec.r...0482421d02e624

15 Feet Vertical Noise {Sense} Antenna

l
F=====================================P-
'o' =End Insulator for Rigging Rope
'l' = 15 Foot Vertical Antenna Element using the
Center Conductor and Insulator of the Coax Cable.
'F' = Snap-On Ferrite Bead placed where the
Antenna Element begins.
'=' = 35+ Feet of Coax Cable feed-in-line
'P-' = PL-359 Plug to connect to the Noise Cancelling
Combiner/Phaser.

FWIW - I understand that the MFJ-1025 without the little
built-in Whip {Noise} Antenna is preferred over
the MFJ-1025 that has the little built-in Whip {Noise} Antenna.

I suggest that you keep an open mind about what serves as your noise
antenna. You might find that the coax antenna described above is just
the ticket. However, I hope you'll at least try a few different kinds
of antennas, or a few different configurations/lengths of your wire
antenna, to see what works best most of the time. You might be
surprised!
