[time-nuts] Re: Stability question

[jack.davis]

My antenna is active and it uses 5 volts.  I tried 2 different mushroom type antennas with pipe mounts and ironically a magnet mount. Automotive antenna outperforms it even with several feet of RG 174 cable.  Go figure??Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone by Morse code.

You'd have to work out how to provide the DC power for it, like taking some 5V supply current off the line, and passing the rest to the LNA at the antenna.If your existing antenna is passive (no LNA right at it), then that's the first thing to do - get an amplified type. Presuming it is already a typical amplified type, then adding another gain stage at the right spot can make up for a lot of cable loss.Ed_______________________________________________time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts at lists.febo.com -- To unsubscribe send an email to time-nuts-leave at lists.febo.comTo unsubscribe, go to and follow the instructions there.
