So, MFJ, etc. offer loop antennas for Hundreds of $$
Designed well, a [magnetic] Loop Antenna can improve
reception, by bringing less noise into your receiver.
Some (if made for transmit mode) may have tuners,
But others (for Receive mode only) may have preAmp's.
Here's my latest discovery in this class of antenna,
costing Less than Au$ 50, if you shop around on
AliExpress:
- MLA-32
If includes a wire (for the loop), a box to connect the
loop-wire & coax.cable to, & another box (preAmp,),
powered & used inside.
Interestingly, the Chinese do Not [always, AFAIK]
include a length of PVC pipe, that supports the top
of the loop. (Admit: It IS more cost effective to buy
that part locally.)
While I haven't tested this loop antenna, others have.
Google & Learn.
PS If you ever use a mag.loop ant. to Transmit,
KEEP A SAFE DISTANCE AWAY FROM IT.
Also, the connectors provided with this antenna
(for conn'g its preAmp box to your receiver) seem
a good match for SdrPlay's ramge of products.
Yeah
Sure
