Re: SX-117 noise limiter behavior
Another technique for reducing or eliminating noise was to introduce local noise to the front end of a receiver from a local "noise antenna." The amplitude and phase of that noise could be adjusted

Re: SX-117 noise limiter behavior
Can't read the whole book:-) Look at any of the classical receivers, say a Hallicrafters S-40. That has a series diode noise limiter. I think the S-20R has a shunt limiter. Series limiters began to

Re: SX-117 noise limiter behavior
Back to noise? stuff only
Richard you say halli used a ?Noise ?LIMMITER ?, not a blanker? but it is an ¡°unusual noise limiter arrangement¡±
Is there a standard arrangement? And what is it?

Well, that's useful to know. Actually, I have some Kroil, my local hardware store just began to stock it along with gun cleaning stuff.
I agree that recommendations for cleaning based on

SX series S meter
Anyone have an SX series S meter they wish to part with? SX99 I am working with needs one replaced. Plastic face is broken and cracked badly.

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

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

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.

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?

Re: SR-2000 load cap
Wow. Awesome. I tried that on mine but the plates where badly scorched. Also, If you are not aware, You should run a wire from the rear section TOP terminal to the rear section bottom terminal.

As far as I can see, there is a form of Noise Blanker implemented into the SX-117.

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
