Christian Spaeth Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Block 21 does look bad with the Nomad on but before you sell your 21 units off do a real walk test. Pixels are pixels, audio is audio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadoStefanov Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 I do not agree. Pixels reduce range. From 1 to 3 pixel you can get 50% less range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenn Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Our All digital demo bag shows no interference with Nomad and a Zaxcom stereo link in. Talent wireless in block 21 and link on block 25. I will show this bag at Coffey Sound next Saturday. Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadoStefanov Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 This works with 744t but unfortunately does not with Nomad. The sprays is very strong I get it even 2 feets from the nomad with separate power and xlrs not connected. Do you have a Petrol bag? Try putting the Nomad in the middle of the bag, and the RX's in the little clip on pockets. It looks a bit weird but it helps a lot. I've had my 744T up against my belly (which puts out a LOT more RF than Nomad, apparently) and the 4 RX's in the outer pockets (my bag has 4 of the clip on mounts around the outside) and got NO appreciable RF change on the scans with the 744T turned off or on.

Christian Spaeth Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 People, don't sell off your 21 Lectros yet! I did a scan yesterday with Nomad turned on, same battery feeding Nomad and two SRas, one 21 and one 28. Left SRa is block 21, looks pretty alright doesn't it? All I did was raise the SRa so the antennae (do I have to write "sic" too, Senator?) are a few centimeters above the Nomad. Block 28 was worse by the way. For the scans I put the transmitters in another room, once they were too close to the Nomad I got extreme pixel pollution. So careful with that when scanning... Bottom line, as I said before. Pixels are not the whole truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadoStefanov Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 My father told me when I was a little boy: Do not trust photos. Here is a video of scans with and without Nomad. Block 21 SRa. Very good in Las Vegas. I noticed that I get less garbage when the gear is not in a bag...... A little out of focus sorry. http://vimeo.com/36755705 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadoStefanov Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Looks way better then mine... My block 24 however just gets a few pixels here and there and it is totally fine. Maybe not every Nomad is created equal. BTW how come the scan in the blurry background seams to be more crowded then the one on the nomad? People, don't sell off your 21 Lectros yet!

David Waelder Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 All I did was raise the SRa so the antennae (do I have to write "sic" too, Senator?) Insects have antennae. (Latin plural) Radio gear uses antennas. (English plural) Mike knows this so his determination to use the wrong form and then follow it with "sic" is just one of his many idiosycracies.

Philip Perkins Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Do we know for sure that the interference that appears to be caused to Block 21/24 SRas by the Nomad isn't perhaps just a display issue? Like the Nomad is affecting the pixel display only, not the reception of the RX itself. Farfetched, I agree, but so far the Noman RF testing hasn't included much of any "walking" with transmitters, which are the sort of tests that really interest me... Also, aren't lots of people using Nomads in real work situations now, with their radios? How's it going--any diffs with your radios from your previous setups? phil p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abe Dolinger Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Block 22 411a scan was slightly dirtier w/Nomad on but not bad. I can post pictures if anyone's interested. The weird thing was I noticed that one of my blk22 195D receivers puts a spike in the scan when it's on. Not at the freq it's receiving on either. Odd.

RadoStefanov Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Question for Larry F if he is listening or anybody else who can answer: Right now I have my talent mics on Block 21 "more then 3/4 clean in las vegas" and my hops on 24. If I switch around and use 24 for talent and 21 for hop, how much would the Nomad affect the TX? I would imagine the SMQVs TX at 100mW will not be as affected by the Nomad as the SRa RX. Please confirm ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadoStefanov Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 How's it going--any diffs with your radios from your previous setups? phil p In a walking test my SRa 21 "more then 3/4 clean without the Nomad" start cutting off a little more then a half from what I got when I tested it with my 552. Bag is on the trunk of my car and my friend walks line of sight on the street between houses with the TX on the back of his belt. It is strange. Even if I zoom in and select a little 2-3 bar empty space after a few seconds I see interference that is jumping from 1-3 bars up and down very fast. I have never seen anything like it. I do another scan and the same thing happens/ Removing the antennas cleans everything which is promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandering Ear Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I am expecting a nomad in a couple weeks, and my primary talent mics are block 21 411s, so this all makes me a slight bit nervous. For everyone who's testing this right now, are you testing with or without zaxnet/ifb turned on? Does it make a difference? I know it doesn't operate in the same frequency range, but I'm curious if it affects it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryF Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 It is possible that switching blocks will make a change and it is true that the transmitters will be unaffected by low level leakage. I don't know how to advise you other than to try it.

Apart from those two extra dots, your scans in the second image are lower. uhhh, how? Unless the order is messed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
