  • Modification MLA-30+ with copper tubing. (28 september 2022)





 


 
 
  • I suggest our MLA-30 to add a ground mass. Here are the differences (Electrical system of my house, at least in my case) ๐Ÿ˜



 
 Inserted ferrite inside the amplifier to reduce and eliminate noise and interference from the Bias Tee power supply. ๐Ÿ˜‰

 
 
  • MLA-30+ measurement values with NanoVNA
Original ring

 
 Copper tubing
 
 
  
  • Replaced the original MLA30 + bias tee with POWER SUPPLY FOR TV ANTENNA AMPLIFIERS, 12V 100mA 1 OUTPUT, PLUG F. (Buy here ) The result is amazing, goodbye to noise.

  
 
  • MLA-30+ measurement values with NanoVNA
 





  • Last modified MLA30 + antenna loop. Added BNC connector for 10 meters of cable (high quality) 50 ohm / RG58. Noise decreased and received signals NEVER heard with its original cable.

Complimenti per il sito ! . . . i miglioramenti in ricezione li hai potuti constatare in tutte le bande ?

In linea di massima si, confermo, in tutte le bande!
