What do you mean by way off.
The noise I am getting is a very quick tick from time to time and other times a burst of noise.Most noticeable on the Buffalo New York
Public station I listen two.I appear to have full signal strength
and no signs of multipathing on my meters.I had this same antenna
sitting four feet off the ground with great reception.I then put it
up on a thirty foot tower with a rotator and now have this ticking and bursts of static.Apparently coax cable acts like a capacitor storing voltage and releasing iit slowly producing noise while it does so.
The main point I was trying to bring to this site is that not all these Gas discharge units are the same.Some are designed only for lightening protection.That is electrocution of people.others do this
plus improve tuner perfomance by reducing noise and static.
Yet another patented model does both of these and protects your
equipment.In a previous thread about Gas discharge units it was
basically assumed that all these do the same thing.In my research
I have found out this is not so.Gas tube units do nothing to eliminate very low voltage transients caused by wind,snow rain etc,because the voltage levels produced by static are well below the turn on voltage of gas tube units,so they will still transmit this noise.The specific model that I currently have on order is almost
aimed specifically at noise and static that are claimed to be a normal byproduct of radio and claim to eliminate this noise while also protecting people and equipment.There apparently is only one
company that makes this type which is why it is patented.
Please explain how you would deal with problem 2 if you feel I am way
off on my problem solving.Sincerely
