Hello was reading about noise eliminating speakers that are suitable for various radios including HF, at around $250 has anyone tried one on a
HF radio,supposed to remove nearly all background noise and amplify weak signals.Any advice appreciated thankyou.

Hi there,
Yes they do cancel out 'un wanted' noise - apparently.
Allthough, i don't have any you can try a website called www.dansdata.com
He has done some reviewing on Headphones, and seems to be a reviewer of sorts - also does a lot on batteries.
Just do a search (on the left side - his pages only), and type in "noise canceling headphones" and quite a bit comes up.
Hope that helps.
Alan.

Wonder if I could use them on some so called hip radio stations, Some of that stuff must be hard to sing as it sure is hard to listen to.

One thing I have found as I got older is that the music I listened to as a child/teenager/
young adult has, to me, stood the test of time and the modern stuff is rubbish.
BUT......
This is history repeating itself, my father often berated me for the music I listened to and claimed it wasn't as good as the music HE listened to. So I now at least listen to the songs my kids listen to, and try to hear it from their point of view and some of it is really good!
This does NOT include;
RAP music
DOOF DOOF music(?)
hip hop
But just because it's modern doesn't automatically make it bad.... or good for that matter either.

There was something on the Codan Yahoo Group a while back. I'll see what I can find.

Hi all, I have one which I purchased from Electric Bug. It is a truley magnifcent piece of gear and worth every cent. It has adjustable noise cancelling levels to suit any application. It makes staticy, unreadable signals vlear and easy to understand. I would highly reccommend this unit to all HF users, I haven't tried it on 27 mhz as yet but I would expect it would clean up the static as
well.
Cheers Brad

Just what are we talking about here? The original post requests info on noise cancelling speakers, then other posts refer to noise cancelling headphones.?? If we are talking about headphones it is worth checking planequiet.com
I've got some, they had a special if you bought two pairs and it was a lot cheaperbuying them from USA than getting them here. Work pretty
well. The better half and I plug them into our MP3 player and use a splitter so we can both use them.
If we are talking about noise cancelling speakers, I can't help.

Jaycar also sell Noise-Cancelling Headphones - but keep in mind these just attempt to cancel local his type noise - the improvement is limited. Test them before paying good money. Just getting bigger headphones that do a better job of sealing out noise would most probably do a better job.
Removing the noise and static in a radio signal works really
well, but it uses an expensive DSP (Digital Signal Processing) chip.

Dunno Mike, guy at work has some he picked up from somewhere. They cancel out repeative type noise. In a moderately noisy industrial enviroment I cant hear a damn thing with them on.....silence is golden
