Anan 100d 200d noise level on Dummy load /without antenna
Posted: Fri Oct 04, 2024 9:38 pm
Hello,
I'm interested in understanding what the S meter should read on a dummy load or when the radio is on without an antenna connected.
I recently installed 12mm and 9mm Fair Rite snap-on ferrites on everything, along with an EMI AC line filter, which has significantly reduced noise. However, I've noticed that when I switch the Palstar AT2K tuner to the dummy load position, the S meter shows noise levels around S3/S4. This reading remains the same even after disconnecting the coaxial cable from the Anan. The readings don’t vary between the 100D and 200D models. I haven’t checked the 8000DLE since it’s stored away for now.
Could you please share what you observe on your radios?
Thank you!
