Equipment / Re: RA0SMS vs PA0RDT Active Mini Whip - RA0SMS is Very Noisy - Why?

« on: February 22, 2019, 1243 UTC »

Make sure the gain is the same as well as the freq range when testing, reason being if the same conditions do not apply, then you may be overloading the radio with one amp and not the other.

Also some switching mode power supplies use 10kc as a resonating freq and can show up on an antenna as they are transmitting, this is a good reason to endeavor to persevere to use only linear power supplies. Also also, a pc or networking gear may make rfi every 10Kc or so, most pc and networking related gear employs switching mode power supplies due the efficiency, rfi be damned.

"endeavor to persevere"----as spoken by Chief Dan George in the movie "The Outlaw Josey Wales,"
                                        from a poem by George Wootton
Nice reference, Josh...
