Hi Simon,
?
Thanks for the info. There is a lot to learn about noise, much of which I simply don't have the tools or instruments to do any real science with, however taking advice and applying some logic, and doing practical tests and checks from folks smarter than me in RF seems to working out :-)
?
I also am referring to this article: which seems to make sense too, and I also think I am too hung up on the FTP cable being shielded, as it really doesn't seem to make a lot, if not any, difference to noise levels. (something else to experiment with)

My other issue with dipole mode, is even with an (made for the KiwiSDR) , there are MW artifacts / reflections all through the bands, so I think my loops are possibly too large for that much gain, I am also not running a ground at this point, which seems to be a requirement for Dipole loops.
?
Many thanks
