BUY THIS KIT NOW TO SOLVE YOUR RFI PROBLEMS! WORKS WITH MANY BRANDS OF COMMERCIAL VHF RADIOS INCLUDING ICOM A120, A220, A220T.

Quick installation - immediate RFI/noise reduction. No radio mods required.

This kit will help reduce or eliminate:

1. Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) to electronic devices including instrumentation and GPS systems.

2. RFI from other electronic devices such as switching power supplies, LED instrument and cockpit lights, battery chargers, GPS and computer systems which generate common mode currents on your radio interface or coaxial antenna feed lines.

3. These filters help reduce SWR problems between transceiver and antenna. The DC power line filter helps keep common mode current out of the power line which could cause interference to other devices connected to the same power source.

These chokes use a ferrite core material that is effective in suppressing RFI from transmitters and receivers experiencing a high noise floor in the 1-300 MHz range.

The ferrite split bead filters are easy to use, don’t require modification of the protected equipment and work in almost all cases, even when plug-in filters fail.

Kit Includes 2 noise reduction split bead (they snap on like a clam shell) filters for coax and AC/DC power/ standard 15 Pin connector cable. 3/4" whole ID - just wrap 2-3 turns of coax cable thru 1 bead and 2-3 turns of the DC power/15 Pin cable thru the other split bead. Does not affect signals carried by the cables, only the common mode interference noise is suppressed.

For additional RFI suppression, use a feed line choke at the antenna feed point to suppress common current on the coax feed line during TRANSMIT and a CMNF-500-50 coax noise filter at the radio end of the coax to reduce common mode noise during RECEIVE.

When considering solutions for AM broadcast (550 Khz – 1.8 Mhz) you should consider Mix 77 ferrites available in a variety of shapes and sizes.  Choose a size to give the maximum number of turns of the affected wire or cable.

AM broadcast transmits on a low frequency with large antennas.  Consequently it takes a large antenna to receive the signals.  Typical “antennas” are AC house wiring, phone lines, long satellite or cable TV cables, DSL/CAT5 lines running between rooms, etc.  The device wires that connect to these  “antennas” need to be choked with as many turns through the ferrite as possible.  Some installation examples are shown below on this page.

For AC/ DC power cords and coax cables the F240-77 (2.4″ OD, 1.4″ ID) “Donut” toroid is the most popular.  Also available are smaller toroid donuts and Mix 77 beads. Shown below is a graph with 8, 10, and 12 turns through the toroid – obviously more turns has higher choking impedance.  Mix 77 toroid products are HERE and Mix 77 small beads (for small wires) are HERE
