Locked Questions about ferrites
Hi, You guys often use terms like FTxxx-yy or BNxxx-yy to refer to various ferrite products - like "use x turns on a FT240-31 for this application". By that, do you have any particular manufacturer /

Thank you for the clarification on TX-SDR isolation. It would have been nice if you has a hybrid splitter (for receive) in the design instead of using a T connector and a 3 .7 db pad on the receive

From my experience as a former cellphone base station engineer in Southern England, I found that the most common culprits in rural sites were small woodmice. They even managed to get inside the cabins

Maybe, but in woodland it's likely to get chewed by various animals, unless you run it in some hose pipe or similar protection. Even if it is a few feet up in the sky, squirrels will be tempted to

Best person to ask is LZ1AQ. Great guy and always responds. I have about a 50 foot run and it works fine. I have no choke on it. Mike AB4KJ

A 30m (100ft) length of Cat 5 has typically 3 dB of attenuation at 30MHz, 2dB at 10MHz and <1dB at 1MHz. If your receiver noise floor rises by >6dB when the antenna is connected, you won't have a

13 January 2022 I bought an LZ1AQ active antenna amplifier to try. The performance of my Wellbrook wide aperture loop has been excellent since moving it further from the house, so I would like to try

I have the DX Engineering switch that adds a antenna port for receiving. It works super but is a pricey bugger. I am using a simple 2 position coax switch to use 2 different radios. (Yaesu FTDX-3000 &

Generally speaking the loops are unlikely to be damaged. However you raise a good point about any receivers that may be connected to them whilst you are transmitting. Most receivers will withstand up

Hi Bob, the diagram on that page only shows a SDR and Transceiver sharing a single antenna. It doesn't seem to separate 2 antennas one for tx and one for rx.
