whats the current thoughts on one larger monitors vs two or more smaller
ones?
The most important issue is noise produced by the monitor's power
supply. Some years ago, I found several models of Samsung monitors that
run on nominal 12V, and that work quite well on the nominal 12V DC
systems in the shack. This allows me to throw away the very noisy SMPS
line lumps. In general, larger monitors tend to use higher DC voltages
(20V seems to be common), which makes them much harder to replace.
Far too many hams pay more attention to being loud than to being able to
hear. If we can't hear 'em, we can't work 'em! The average ham is DEAF,
thanks to wildly excessive receive noise. The average home has dozens of
noise sources; we hear our own, as well as those of our neighbors. My
tutorial on identifying and chasing noise ran in NCJ several years ago.
It's on my website. k9yc.com/publish.htm
