I feel like it is a loaner and\nnot mine to modify. It would be interesting to disconnect the switch and\nthe current monitor from the CAN-Do power input and move it to those user\npins as you suggest. That might just work, but I also know they don't want\nto have multiple versions of the module floating around and this would be\none.\n\nWe also can't loose sight of the radiated noise from that inductor. I can\nsee signs of EMI if it gets within 2 inches of the sensitive areas of the\nreceiver.\n\n73,\n\nJuan\n\n\n73,\n\nJuan\n\n-----Original Message-----\nFrom: Chuck Green [mailto:[email protected]] \nSent: Sunday, June 17, 2007 9:18 AM\nTo: [email protected]\nSubject: Re: [eagle] 70 cm Receiver IF Spurs - Problem Solved\n\nHi Juan,\n\nI am impressed with your testing and analysis. \n\nI find it curious that you were unable to filter the power from the \nCAN-Do! . But switching noise is notorious for being difficult to \nfilter. So maybe that is something to just forget. But in a total \nsystem (satellite) it may not be possible to forget. We may need to \nfind a way to filter the power for sensitive modules even if not using \npower from the CAN-Do! ; in which case, such a filter may also filter \nthe noise from the CAN-Do! .\n\nIf your analysis is correct, and it certainly seems to be, then it would \nalso seem possible to remove the switch from the CAN-Do! (not just \nbypass it) and rout your clean power source through the CAN-Do! current \nmeasurement circuit thus saving having to do this in the module.\n\nGreat work! And thanks.\n\nChuck\n\n\n\nJuan Rivera wrote:\n> Hi Chuck,\n>\n> Bad news I'm afraid. See my report for details...
