![]() Any impedance/network analyser is going to need a BCB-reject filter in order to handle that level of interference. However, imperfections in the filter don't matter with a more advanced VNA such as the N2PK design, because the filter can be included *inside* the calibration loop. GM Ian, Actually, I have used the N2PK under the same conditions that Rick has and you DON'T need the reject filter. That volt is an aggregate number and at any 2-3 Hz bandwidth that the VNA detector is looking at, it's at the uVolt level and not a bother. (Unless you tune TO the BC signal itself of course!) As for the walk, would probably do most of us some good, but I even substituted the guy that wanted the measurements made and a pair of $5. FRS radios for the walk. Works fine if you really want to measure the antenna. Rick can put the feedline, his transformers and the kitchen sink inside the cal loop and still measure his antenna if he REALLY wanted to use it. Used Laptops with a parallel port (And worn out battery) are running 25-50 bucks around here. Had one given to me that Alice plays the cardgame with using the charger. Most will still hold a charge for an hour or so. I'm going to be doing a lot of that in the next two years, but the environmental problems will be slightly different. Where can I find a laptop with a screen demister and two-speed wipers? Try a portable igloo, Rain-X doesn't work very well. Regards W4ZCB |
