Re: SX-117 noise limiter behavior
Mine is remarkably stable.? It drifts a few Hz in the first few minutes, but nothing noticeable after that.? I wasn't able to find the original diodes anywhere in the USA - there were a couple on

Re: SX-117 noise limiter behavior
Hi Floyd, My neighbor has an electric fence which gives regular pops when listening to 40M. The NB reduces those quite a bit, but not completely. Now that you mention it, I might try replacing the

Re: SX-117 noise limiter behavior
Hi Peter.? Nice to hear from someone who has an SX-117.? Yes, mine had a problem with one of the diodes in the circuit - it wasn't shorted, but had a resistance of around 60 ohms in each

Re: SX-117 noise limiter behavior
It seems to me that no-one has actually answered your question. I have an SX117 and the NB certainly doesn't reduce the signal to S1. It causes a very slight drop in audio on AM but almost no

Re: SX100 DC power plug question
Its safe. If you are concerned with accidental contact with the socket you can put a piece of tape across it. Or, simply unwire the socket and link the necessary wires internally. -- Richard Knoppow
