This is a generic linear amplifier RFI kit for DC powered amplifiers. Works on many popular amplifiers including:

Specially designed for the Elecraft KPA500 linear amplifier used with the KX3 and similar transceivers.

Included are the following chokes and installation guidelines:

Included are the following chokes and installation guidelines:

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

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

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

AC Power Line:F240 ring – 5-6 turns through center

Computer/RS232/AUX Cable:FSB-1/2 – multiple turns through choke – ½” diameter hole

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

Mobile RFI kits work two ways: They suppress RFI from on board computers and other sensing/control devices in your vehicle that may cause your radio to be a VICTIM of RFI, and second they suppress RFI generated by your radio as a SOURCE which may affect your on board computers or other devices.  Mobile operations of HF radios (1-30 Mhz) tend to experience more RFI effects than VHF/UHF mobile stations.  If you have both HF and VHF installations in your vehicles, you may need both kits.

To address separate solutions we have developed two separate RFI kits: one for HF (1.8-300 MHz) mobile installations and another for VHF/UHF (30-1000 MHz) mobile installations.  Each kit uses the appropriate ferrite mix for the frequency range desired.
