Antenna Rotor RFI Kit - fits all Wired Rotors up to 1/2" cable size
Your rotor cable and control box can cause RFI into your radio station and you need to suppress common mode RFI induced into the cable from your antennas. In many cases the rotor cable acts as an unintended counterpoise for your rotated antennas and can cause weird SWR issues since the control cables become part of the antenna,
The SOLUTION is simple: isolate the cable from RFI by adding the Palomar RFI kit for antenna rotors. Add 3 snap on filters near the rotor and another 3 snap on filters at the rotor control box and a ring filter for AC powered rotor control boxes to suppress RFI common mode currents that can affect the antenna SWR and radiation patterns. In addition, these filters may also help reduce station receiver noise since many rotors are connected to the station ground and the rotor cable acts as an additional receiving antenna.
Isolating the rotor cable works on the same principal as isolating coax cable - keep the TRANSMIT signal on the antenna by proving a feed line choke at the rotor itself and keep noise out of the station on RECEIVE by choking the cable at the rotor control box ( by suppressing noise pickup on the cable).
Kit includes 7 filters -six 1/2" snap on filters for the cable and a ring filter for the AC/DC power supply for the control box. Simple to install and cheap insurance to solve both the TRANSMIT and RECEIVE issues caused by rotor control systems.
