[SCCC] Effectiveness of MFJ-1026 Noise Filter??

[R. Salazar]

Steve,

I have the MFJ-1025 that Dennis N6KI loaned to me. I believe it is the
older version of the 1026 but they are similar. I use mine for some
intermittent power line noise at my QTH, and it does work. The most
important thing is that the noise antenna actually hears the noise you want
to cancel out. It took some trial and error but I found a simple random
length dipole hanging on my fence works great. I was hung up on using a
vertical antenna for while but I found a horizontal dipole works best in my
situation. There is a lot of knob turning and button pushing to find the
right combination to get rid of the noise but it does cancel out most of
the noise. Sometimes I can completely eliminate it although that is rare.
It just takes some experimentation with the noise antenna to get it working
good.
