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...e30c9dfd1a8b21...


15 Feet Vertical Noise {Sense} Antenna

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.

- If you remove the whip and configure the internal shunts
- appropriately, the 1026 effectively becomes the 1025. *
- Interestingly, that little whip works quite well if no other
- antenna is available.

BpnJ - Do you have either -or- Used Either ? ~ RHF


Also, regarding that little whip - when I first got the device before
putting up antenna No. 2, I used the whip quite a bit, and it
amazingly did a pretty good job on 60 and 75 and 90 meters, which are
real problem bands for me. If noise nulling is all you are interested
in, rather than actually phasing antennas, then all you need for the
accessory antenna is something that will "hear" the noise, and that
little whip did fine job, at least here. It also heard the stations
pretty well, given that it has a fairly strong preamp behind it :-)

I never tried the whip as a MW station nuller.
