My DX-394 was getting killed on SW by WABC at 50,000 watts, and several
other local AM stations. I bought on ebay an I.C.E. Model 402 SWL - receive only BCB Filter. Non-polarized, 50 ohm Highpass design, for use from 1.8 MHz and up. It is wonderful for eliminating the AM overload. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=9703432607 HFguy wrote: blitz wrote: I've got two hi-fi tuners that overload on the outdoor long-wire (on AM, of course). Is there a way to tune, preselect, detune, balun, resist, or whatever the antenna so I can use it? It depends on what's overloading the receiver. Are you located close to a strong AM station? In general, a passive pre-selector should help but you might need just a frequency 'trap' to reduce the strength of the offending station. Are you using coax for the antenna lead-in or just a single wire? |
