Hi Wayne,

I'm not "Mike" but I can tell you how I did it with my two noise cancelors.

For the past 30 years, every radio I ever had, including about 8 or 9 Ten-Tecs, received a slight little modification. I mounted two RCA phono jacks on the rear panel (in case there were not already 2 spares) and then I interrupted the internal 50 ohm coax line which went between the T/R switching circuit and the receivers antenna input (to its RF amp). I inserted the noise cancelor there. I originally did this for inserting an external preselector, but it also worked just fine with the noise cancelor.

If you do it like that, then there is no influence on the QSK performance of your rig.

By the way, the new OMNI VII has provisioned for this inside the radio, but the connections are not brought out to the rear panel. You just have to add the internal cables connecting it to the (existing) two spare jacks on the rear.

Mike (NM7X) - did you use the MFJ-1026 with qsk cw and if so, how did it
perform?
How did you handle the ptt circuit?

I have quite high power line noise on 80 and 40 and I am hoping this
might help.
