As the old saying goes, "it depends." In this case, it depends on where the sound card clips/distorts, how much RF you might have floating around your shack, and providing immunity to hum/buzz that m

Your point is well taken. I just looked at the output of the computer running full gain from the PSK software. The third harmonic (the strongest spur) is 24 dB below the fundamental. Not hard clippin

That's -3 dB. Huh? how does 50% power turn into -10 dB? According to my math it's -3 dB. BTW, I measured the relative gain of the slider on my sound card. The first notch down from the top is 3 dB be

Acceptable by what standard? -60 dB re: fundamental is 0.1% distortion. -45 dB (which I measured only 3 dB below max out) is 0.3%. In the communications world, those are very low numbers. If I can ea

If you live in the country, with no power lines, no utilities, and no cable, that is certainly true. But it is definitely NOT if you live in the city. My lot is 150' x 40'. On 160 meters, there are a

One of the guys in our local ham club came back from Dayton with a very interesting new product from DX Engineering. As soon as he showed it to me, I called up DX Engineering and bought two of them.

Simple physics -- you cause RF current to flow in a wire, and it WILL radiate. You may CALL it a ground wire, but Mother Nature knows that it is an antenna. Yes, these beasts are well known as HF noi

No, it's not "sloppy," it's an advanced application of the physics of how ferrites work, and a method of getting very effective suppression from commonly available components. The 20-300 MHz recommen

Remembering that for suppression, we want R to be large and X to be small at the frequency of the interfering signal, it would be quite helpful to see data for R and X separately. Thanks for posting

Of course -- IF the interfering signal is only at a single frequency, and if you have time to tune each and every choke to each and every line. Rarely do the stars line up that way. My ham station op

The point is that it is almost never necessary to do so if you can maximize the suppression that can be achieved without resonance, as well as the trouble you can get into when you DO achieve series
