Mike, What frequency bands are being impacted by this fence? 73, Gordon Beattie, W2TTT 201.314.6964 Maybe the higher power controller will burn off the grass. Can only hope. Dale, k9vuj So, small upd
1.8MHz to 144MHz.....lower you go, the worse it is. 6m is moderately worse than 10m or 15m, but that's only because I have a 6el yagi on that band,. On 160m the pulses are on average 10/s9.....on 20m
Hi Mike, Many hand held and portable VHF/UHF ham band transceivers also have the aircraft band built in. Perhaps one of your friends had one. Many inexpensive aircraft receivers are also available on
Yes. My favorite, the venerable Kenwood TH-F6A, can be set to receive AM all the way up to about 525 MHz. When you get very close to a source of impulse noise, it helps to remove the antenna, and to
Frank, W3LPL gave me an idea....I don't have an aircraft radio or FT-817, nor is one available to me locally. I don't have a handheld dish and ultrasonic RX either. (I like the KB4T email that just c
Further to my last, I just backed the car up about 10' from the fence, nearest to my property and do not hear it on 2m or 70cm just using the vert's on the car. I BARELY hear it on the car's built in
One handy dandy little tool to use with any receiver/antenna combination used for tracking RFI is the Elecraft AT1 step attenuator. I use it with my TECSUN PL-660 and Kenwood TH-F6 to add 1 to 41 dB
Due to the noises produced by cars, their radios are probably the most heavily suppressed in the world. Rule #1. NEVER use a car radio to try to hear or find noise. Kurt ____________________________
why is this so hard? special radios, special antennas, ultrasonics, etc, etc, etc... if we needed all that stuff before hunting for something we would never get it done. I have 2 radios I have used f

Ask your neighbor to come over and hear the noise on your radio. Have a friend of HIS, wife, son, whatever, go back to his place with a walkie-talkie, then radio back that they are turning off the fe

i found an MFJ MFJ-852 at a hamfest for 40$..... ( now i have 2 ) when I finally got the right people over from Comm Ed ( Illinois) , he explained that old guy retired , and now several guys share th
I couldn't agree less... I've been using my car radio to close in on noisy poles for a decade and more. Tune to the top end of the AM band and drive. Get close and take a portable radio from there. T
The folks at the power cooperative here have been very helpful but generally lacked knowledge - though someone in the past had acquired a specialized device - the battery was dead and also unobtanium
AM broadcast radio is a poor choice for hunting power line noise. Best is to use your yagi antenna at the home station, put it on 10 meters and get a general heading where the noise is then get on yo

While looking at some of the Green Bank Telescope RFI mitigating information, I ran across this page on fences. Looks like some useful links at the bottom. http://www.gb.nrao.edu/IPG/Fence.shtml ____
