[TenTec] Question on Orion vs Pro II noise handling

Todd,

The best thing is to get yourself an ANC-4.
It connects into the RX antenna line and using a second antenna,
phases the noise 180 deg. out of phase, thus canceling almost all
of it.  It works on RF, not with DSP.

Other companies make similar products.

This device has rescued our low-band operations on several BCC
DX-peditions.

Subject: [TenTec] Question on Orion vs Pro II noise handling


Hello, I understand the Orion's IF dsp gives incredible options
for filter
shaping etc, but how does the dsp handle neighborhood /
atmospheric noise? I
seem to have developed several
newer noises this winter, that I suspect are coming from dirty
furnace
motors, portable heaters, or touch lamps etc. I would attempt to
locate the noises &
talk to the neighbors about it, but I don't feel the neighbors
would be very
cooperative, and I really don't want to go home in a "Body Bag"
Hi Hi. I know
the noise isn't from power lines because it turns on and off as
if it has a
timer or thermostat controlling it. I understand dsp for filter
shaping /
selectivity, vs dsp for noise handling are two different animals.
Has anyone compred
this to a Pro II, 1000 MP etc? Any other thoughts?
