Re: SX-117 noise limiter behavior
The noise limiter in the SX117 is somewhat unusual. It is a diode noise clipper, similar to the conventional limiters found in many receivers, but works at IF frequency rather than audio. It is NOT a

Re: SX-117 noise limiter behavior
A noise limiter (usually a diode or two) clips off audio above the strength that the desired audio wave reaches. Some observers say it should be called a clipper, not a limiter. Often the ¡°clipping

Re: SX-117 noise limiter behavior
A blanker normally reduces pulse type peaks such as spark plug type pulses. Someone else will need to describe a noise limiter. Bob W4JFA [email protected]> wrote:

Re: SX-117 noise limiter behavior
So, guys, where is the formal non-partisan definition of.. "noise blanker" "noise limiter" Is there a defined difference between them ? and do the terms define an intent or a specific circuit? Sorry

I had hoped that someone who has actually seen and used an SX-117 would respond.? I've only been restoring receivers for 40 years or so, but over that time I've learned that you can save a lot of

SR-2000 load cap
I got lucky. Simple fix. When I got the load cap out, I could clearly see the rotor was too far to the rear. I adjusted the end play screw and centered the rotor plates and all is fine. That is when I

Re: SX-117 noise limiter behavior
As far as I can see, there is a form of Noise Blanker implemented into the SX-117. Two silicon diodes, polarised by the signal from the last IF amp that de-sensitizes the input directly at the antenna

Re: SX-117 noise limiter behavior
Clarify a little, do you mean a desired signal falls off that much or background noise? If its a desired signal it sounds like the blanker is blanking or blocking the signal all the time. A noise
