The winning couple with this SDR 😋


Malachite DSP SDR Radio and Tecsun PL-660 😜


  • 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) 😏



 
 Inserted ferrite inside the amplifier to reduce and eliminate noise and interference from the Bias Tee power supply. 😉

 
 
  • 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.

Could you publish the plans for this? What's the diameter of the tubing?

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!

... se non ho capito male quindi nella versione definitiva hai la discesa d'antenna (tramite BNC) che arriva all'alimentatore TV da 12V e da quest'ultimo al ricevitore ? ...mi confermi ?

Roberto: Esatto!
