FLEX TUNER GENIUS RFI Kit - SO2R/3 Antenna Option
PURPOSE
These kits are designed to choke common mode currents going into or exiting from your Tuner Genius cables. Filters are supplied for the RF Input (s) RF Outputs, DC power and LAN input. The DC power line choke helps keep common mode current out of the power line which could cause interference to other devices connected to the same power line if not suppressed. The LAN cable choke keeps any RFI off the LAN cable input.
USE
RFI-AT-FLEX-TG Standard kit for tuners with SO2R option and RFI-AT-FLEX-TG3 for tuners with 3 antenna outputs option (1X3).
Note if you use other cables into the tuner such as PTT or otherwise, use FSB31-1/2 snap on ferrites for these lines and wind 2 or more turns thru center if possible. These ferrites sold separately.

DC Power:Snap On Filter (1/2” ID) – 2 or more turns of DC (+ and -) power cord through center
Also make sure you connect a good RF ground to the tuner ground post.
16:1 Ununs are useful between coax and long wires with a load impedance near 800 ohms like a beverage antenna. Shortwave listener antennas also can benefit with the 16:1 unun and it may provide a better match than 9:1 ununs – this means quieter noise levels and stronger signals so you can hear distance stations easier.
