Charectorizing the Elecraft "wide band noise generator" for BPL measurements

[David Garnier]

Hello,

Has anybody characterized the Elecraft "wide band noise generator,"
in /*ENR dB*/ numbers, for _noise figure work_???

I stumbled across a method (written for hams) to measure BPL
interference: http://www.vk1od.net/
The author has written software for this application, at first glance
the concept appears to be well thought out, –but- it requires the
noise source to be characterized in ENR dB.

I think this kit could become a real useful tool for evaluating BPL
Interference. Thanks to Wayne & Company for developing some
useful little tools.

I look forward to hearing your comments. Thank you.

There doesn't seem to be too much noise to measure. Mines not many dog
biscuits above the noise floor if my spectrum analyser.
