Shaun now your just showing off. Chuckle
Very nice.
What is a 2100r? Have not heard of that unit.
I have 2100 and 2100F units that I use.
These do a very good job of rejecting noise. Over the years noise in the
VLF band has been going up.
It effects things like WWVB at 60 Khz and LORAN C at 100 KHz. First it was
the CFL lights and now LEDs.
