Steve,
The J310 is normally a pretty low noise device.
Perhaps you should look at filtering the power supply and any control and 
feed cables.

The noise is typically S3-S4, but I want it down to S0 to hear the bottom layer of stations. My sense antenna works fine, and the QRN is canceled. However, the MFJ-1025 amplifier noise is quite significant, often negating the QRN cancellation. The MFJ amplifiers are J310's. Any recommendations for something quieter ?
