Default Timewave ANC-4 question!

Reading the schematics it is possible that the ANC-4 does not
fully cover the 360 degrees phase shift, just like the MFJ-1025.
But it is also possible that you experience more than one noise
source on 75 mtrs. A noise canceller (with two inputs/antennas)
can cancel only one noise source.

I have written about noise cancelling on my site, e.g.:
http://www.pa0sim.nl/Phaser%2080%20-%2010%20meters.htm
May be it can help.

Nice website, have you considered modifying the existing units (MFJ &
ANC)
to do what you have shown? Your idea would make either of these 2 units
much
better.

By the way, I took the sense antenna which is a short dipole and I made
one
leg vertical and the other horizontal. Now I have almost no noise on 75
meters. I haqve been playing around with this for awhile and it was either
all vertical or all horizontal. Now with this configuration the weak
signals can be heard.

Hi Stan,
I have considered it, but sometimes it is easier and better to start fresh.
First question is always: what phaser/noise canceller do you really want?
What do you expect from it?
Looking at the design of the MFJ-1025, it would take to much mods to
realize my needs.

When one of the antennas doesnīt hear the noise source, you donīt need
a phaser. But of course that antenna still has to hear your wanted signals.
Using a small loop antenna it is sometimes possible to null the noise
source.
I think playing with a short dipole, as you did, is the same as nulling with
small loops.
