I'm still not seeing NI, but it's no wonder with over 60 dB of noise
to contend with...HA. I've been struggling with the 20/S9 noise
problem for so long now, I'm trying to make any sense as to whether to
continue on with this insane problem. The notion that's it's going to
go away by itself is only a whimsical dream. It's no wonder I can't
see the NI station, let alone even have a two way contact with VE7BDQ
with noise like this! If I thought it was going to be this bad, I
think I would have had second thoughts of spending that much money on
a R75 receiver just for LF. I know this receiver is known to be
really hot for LF, I just find it hard to believe there is that much
difference between my Icom 740 and transverter and the R75 as far as
sensitivity to "natural" background noise. I'm talking about a
difference of going from <S1 noise to 20/S9 noise level, that's a ~68
dB increase! It's hard to compare the two since one is on the
mini-whip..the mini-whip is no hell for receiving either even after
the mods.
