QRM Eliminator / RF Noise Canceller

QRM Eliminator(Noise Canceller) is a small device useful to remove an unwanted noise (QRM) on shortwave bands, produced by some electronic devices like Plasma TV, LED lights or pulse power supplies.
Noise eliminating system is based on phasing/nulling the same signal received by the two antennas (main and auxillary).

I also own the same QRM eliminator. This is the best demonstration of its use and effect on KZbin! Thank you.

Congratulations for the video! Can you advise PTT cable details ? Thanks

[@Steve-GM0HUU]

Should this be a standard feature in modern HF transcievers given the issues many hams now have with RFI which only seem to be getting worse as more and more noise generating gadgets are installed all over the place.

[@OM0ET]

Yes, that was my thought too. Why is not the phase cancellation the feature of any modern transceivers... that would be great!

[@sas7388]

@@OM0ET and it should be automatic!

[@someguy782]

That would require the Japs to give a crap what anyone wants.

[@Hearthglow]

I just borrowed one of these to test. My main antenna is a 40 m long EF, about 10 m up. I first tried my 144/440 antenna as aux, because I had read that it was a reasonable choice. It was not good, because the box didn't register any noise at all. I then ran a 10 m wire out the window. This picked up more noise on aux. I was able to clearly reduce the overall noise (using SDR Console to view), but readability did not increase. I was listening to an AM transmission on 80 m. After some experimenting, I clearly had the noise down by a few S, but also the clarity of the AM transmission. I will try a better antenna, and update my comments.

[@BKHD605]

How did it go?

[@tuberadiohistory8093]

Thanks for this presentation. I have ordered one and hope it will help me to drop down and eliminate the noises here for better SW reception.

[@joelee24]

I got one similar unit from MFJ, it worked great to eliminate noise from nearby commercial lightings while I work 6m, and it got auto Tx sensing to bypass the unit without additional wiring, but on this particular channel I need to add a 1.25x accelerator as well...

[@conorturton]

The Gain 2 control is labelled the wrong way around on this particular model. 0 is max gain, 10 is zero gain. You can test this by swapping your main antenna to the aux socket and having nothing plugged into the main socket. Ideally you want gain 2 as low strength as possible , so as near to setting 10 as you can, to reduce QRM so it doesn't reduce wanted signals.

[@vne2328]

It would have been nice to hear the system with the noisy lamp on and off.

[@maxjakobsen5526]

That was my thought too.

[@Centar1964]

Does this go before or after the antenna tuner? I have read both...

[@AlGritzmacher]

QRN. It's QRN. QRM is man made interference, not electrical noise. A station operating one kHz away from you is QRM. Atmospherice noise, lightning static, wind/rain/snow static, electrical impulse noise from appliances, ionospheric noise is all QRN.

[@garys.7846]

Electrical impulse noise from appliances is man made noise - QRM - (M for man made, N for natural) and these units are designed to eliminate that and not QRN such as lightning static crashes.

[@ryangassxx]

The M and N would suggest that this is the case, but it’s actually a common misnomer. When the Q codes were derived (a long time ago) they had no designation for noise made by 50 or 60hz dirty switching ac devices. The M is actually more along the lines of if an operator is transmitting 1khz above or below and Donald Duck-ing into your conversation. That would have been how “man made interference” was conceptualized back then.. The more appropriate designation for any sort of electrical noise interference is actually always QRN.

[@AlGritzmacher]

@@garys.7846 There is no little man inside your appliance making it interfere. The electrical noise it makes is QRN. QRM - Man-made interference is other radio signals, intentional, or unintentional, Amateur or commercial.

@@AlGritzmacher A man or woman made the noisy, interfering appliance. Ergo, the noisy *RF* emanating from that appliance is manmade. Not naturally occurring atmospherics.

[@gam67]

Where would you place the SWR meter in this case ? Between the TX and QRM Eliminator OR between QRM Eliminator and Main Antenna ?

[@RGC198]

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing. I could use something like this on my set up here, especially on the AM band.

[@hugovanderzee4944]

Does somebody know how the PTT cable is used? I guess it is not needed because none of the videos I found about this device speak about it, and I could not find a manual.

[@mihirsj]

Very well explained , thank you

[@marcteigh8633]

The reason the current consumption was lower I am guessing is that in transmit (by-pass mode), I am guessing you are having to energise a relay coil or two.

[@SuburbanDXing]

Interesting presentation, Paul. Clearly this device eliminated the QRN source, and probably could assist in reducing a local pesky QRN issue. So for the money, it could be worth a try. The problem is when there are multiple sources, like there are in urban areas. In those situations, we are pretty much stuck. Thank you for posting this and 73! de WX0V

[@OM0ET]

Thanks Scott for watching! Yes, I guess you should then choose the strongest QRN source for your auxillary antenna and if it could pickup the others too that should be even better. :) I don't have QRN in my area so I can't make test in real condx :) Best 73

[@valdyjosedegodoyjunior]

i would like to see a video where this one compares to the QRM-Eliminator model "X-Phase" made by RA0SMS. which one will performs better ? i wonder

[@brianclimbs1509]

Have you tried adding some extra coax leading up to your noise antenna so the phase setting isn't pushed to the limit? Maybe it could have been matched even better...

[@Tommyr]

I use the MFJ 1026, it does the same thing and works very well!

[@vu3mes]

Is it QRN or QRM? QRM is interference from adjuecent frequency and QRN is noise according to radio lessons I have learned. 73

[@socallars3748]

QRM = (M)anmade interference of any type, QRN = (N)atural sources of noise, such as lightning crashes, atmospheric static, etc. This device may help with QRM from noisy electronics, power poles and the like, but it won't null out the loudmouths talking over your net on 40 meters.

[@sinatralala]

How do you hook this up if you're using ladder line?

[@socallars3748]

Presumably the ladder line is NOT connected directly to your transceiver, right? Place it between the coaxial antenna input of your radio and whatever device (balun, tuner, etc.) you're using to match to the balanced ladder line.

I bought the WIMO version of this. Useless. It did nothing to get rid of the QRM. It did get rid of wanted signals, which is awful. Main antenna is Steppir DB11. Aux antenna is a small telescopic whip with PL259 connector.

[@yokede]

I purchased one of these hooked it to my rig expert and on 40 meters when I turn the unit on the SWR jumps from 1.04 to 3.5 so it is unusable for me. Have you checked your SWR with the unit on? Both antennas are 1.04 or better stand alone.

[@DA-jw6nm]

All you demonstrated was that it does what you describe in that situation. Placement near the noise source is the key and is the problem in the real world. The signal you use is not nor is it similar to a voice transmitted thru a radio. Put together a real life scenario and record and post video.

[@OM0ET]

I am sorry but if I had such noisy QTH so believe me I would rather made a real life video than simulated.

[@pasixty6510]

Sure, this setup is far from real life. Usually you have no access to the noise source. Otherwise you could simply switch off the noise source… But it works under real life conditions, I tried it. The auxillary antenna can/should be a quite short wire. Ideally it is in no way resonant on the band you want to operate, to avoid picking up the wanted signal instead of the noise. The short (aux antenna) wire then picks up the noise and feeds it into the device to cancel out the noise by reverse phase mixing it into the signal received by the main antenna. That‘s how it works in simple words.

[@OM0ET]

​@@pasixty6510 Yes, I am not sure if you watched whole video, but same thing I have explained there :)
