AM transmitter use
#13

There have been some threads on ARF about mods to reduce the noise in a Talking House, and some have reported success and some others have not.  At one point the latest version TH guys were recommending was version 5, but since I don't have one I've never really kept up with the mods or newer versions (if there are any).

Antenna placement and environmental issues (hash) can cause noise in any of the AM transmitters, but some seem more prone than others.  The units my friend Terry modified are actually one of the first versions of the TH made and don't seem as susceptible to noise as some have reported in the later units.

Here is one of many threads where guys are trying to eliminate noise in some TH units:

Mike might not have any issues at all since he's on a farm away from all the big city contraptions and noise generators.
