The RFI-SMPS is a common mode noise reduction filter set which filters both the AC input and DC output of common SMPS power supplies. These filters effectively isolate the AC power cord and DC output cable from acting as antennas for the internal switching power supply generated noise. The mix 75 filters suppress RFI fundamental frequencies (and the harmonics also) from 150 KHz to 10 MHz. Simple to install on cables without any device modification.
Used for amateur and commercial radio transceiver power supplies, cable TV boxes, laptop computers, or any electronic device powered by an external switching power supply.
Also make sure you connect a good RF ground to the transceiver ground post.
Note to Flex Radio users: Use snap on ferrites for firewire cable, speaker cable and mic cable, Ring ferrites for Antenna output and DC power.
For additional RFI suppression, use a feed line choke at the antenna to suppress common current on the coax feed line – see our store for feed line choke alternatives for use at the antenna.
If you use a linear amplifier we have RFI kits for linear amplifiers that help suppress RFI in your shack or in your neighbor’s house.
