That's exactly how the Collins noise blankers worked for the KWM-2 and the S-line more than 40 years ago. They used a 40 MHz antenna for the noise receiver thinking mostly automotive ignition noise

How much drive power does the PA take? The Orion is a bit notorious for setting power only with the ALC while keeping drive up (no adjustment for drive in CW mode) which tends to make a sharp corner

Yah, I saw "noise xxxxxer" with separate antenna and thought noise blanker with 40 MHz noise input. Noise cancelers at the antenna work on the noise antenna capturing full strength noise but not much

Using boards designed by CT1CMK, its no tougher stabilizing a 44.45 MHz oscillator than stabilizing a 10 MHz with GPS. Takes different boards slightly. I think they are available from a couple source

With a transverter, the drift of the HF rig will be reproduced, neither expanded nor contracted. So if the transverter oscillator doesn't drift the transverted signal drifts that same 50 Hz as it did

You DON'T WANT the ordinary VCO for this application. You want a VCXO, voltage controlled crystal oscillator which can have pretty good phase noise and you don't phase lock it, you adjust its frequen

The fields around high impedance ladder line are mostly in air, so the velocity is high. The fields around the 72 ohm transmitting twin lead are mostly in dielectric, its very close spaced, so the ve

Are you sure the first oscillator does all the fine tuning? Sometimes with that architecture the first oscillator goes in 10 KHz steps and the finer tuning is in the second oscillator and so that low

Try the bandpass tuning with the filters you have. You will find you can crank it down to virtually nothing (but not with as steep skirts as the narrow filter would have) and it will do quit good at

Crystals and good vfos are inherently better at phase noise than synthesizers. Omni V and VI and the Orion synthesize at VHF and divide down which helps their phase noise over the Paragon and Yaecomw
