This RFI Kit Includes are the following filters and installation guidelines:

RF Input:F240 ring – 5-9 turns of RG-58/8X size through center

RF Output:# 1 - FSB31-1 (Big Clamp on) – 3 turns of RG-8 size cable

RF Output:# 2 - FSB31-1 (Big Clamp on) – 3 turns of RG-8 size cable

PA KEY Cable: - FSB31-1/2 – multiple turns through choke – ½” diameter hole

DC Power Line: - FSB31-1 (Big Clamp on) – 2 turns through center

AC Line of DC Power Supply: - FSB31-1 (Big Clamp on) – 3 turns through center

Ports 7 to 15 : - FSB31-1/2 – multiple turns through choke – ½” diameter hole

Total ferrites: - F240 rings (1), FSB31-1 (4), FSB31-1/2 (10)

Also make sure you connect a good RF ground to the amplifier ground post.

50 ohm coax to 75 ohm balanced output baluns are useful for low (< 1 wavelength) dipoles exhibiting 75 ohm characteristic impedance or for matching to balanced ladder line whose endpoint impedance is near 75 ohms.

50 ohm coax to 75 ohm CATV coax connections are easily done with a 1.5:1 unun with SO-239 connectors on input and output.  Likewise 50 ohm coax to unbalanced verticals or loads near 75 ohms can be matched with a 1.5:1 unun.
