Was wondering if using coax as the lead in and running a wire from the braided shield at the feed point to a utility ground right outside the window would help cut down on the noise that's being generated by I assume my neighbor and perhaps myself. If so, do I just tape back the braid and connect the inner wire of the coax to the alligator clip that I attach to the whip on my dx-398? If you need more info please let me know. Thanks It depends. If you have noise sources in the same room or area then yes. If the area around your radio is RF quiet then no. Chances are these days it will help if a ground is used that is apart from the utility ground. The utility ground will be noisy. Most devices use the utility ground to pass noise in order to pass FCC specifications. The conducted noise to ground helps prevent devices from passing this noise on to the hot leads or radiating the noise. -- Telamon Ventura, California |
