Just put it next to the SRIII at one end, with its axis aligned with
the long dimension of the SRIII. Tune for max noise at each frequency. Put both radio and loop on a lazy susan, if you want more variation. You won't notice much change at night, but there's a good deal in the daytime. Actually the loop works better (improves more) with a smaller radio; the SRIII is already pretty good. The loop is an impedance matcher. Once the radio is hearing propagating noise (which the SRIII almost does on its own) further improvements don't do you any good, since they would only enhance both signal and noise. But until that, you're beating out internal receiver noise by raising both external noise and external signal. At night, you're hearing a thousand signals on every frequency, so sensitivity isn't really the problem; and thus the loop doesn't seem to be helping much at night. It's hard to tell it's even there. -- Ron Hardin On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk. |
