Feed line chokes for verticals require a special arrangement to isolate the coax feed line from the radials and ground system. Schematically, a good feed line choke for verticals with radials should be built as follows:
Our CUV-1-1500 and CU-1-5000 feed line chokes are all internally connected to isolate the coax feed line as shown above.
1500 Watt Rated 1:1 Feed line Choke (Unun) for Verticals with radials
Th CUV-1-1500ST unun is a common mode feed line choke for vertical antennas with radials that need to be isolated from the coaxial feed line to keep common mode current from using the coaxial braid as another radial. Very effective with high choking of 1K-5K from 1.8-61 MHz and also incorporates two side studs/wingnut terminals for radial or ground connection at the antenna while isolating the coax feed line braid from the radials via the internal common mode feed line choke. Top terminal with stud/wingnut for vertical connection enclosed in a 4″ x 4″ x 2″ box..
To reduce receiver common mode noise for long runs of coax to your antenna, use a MC-1-3000 or CU-1-1500 feed line choke at the station end of the coax.

Christmas lights or yard lights with switching DC power supplies are often the RFI source and a clamp on ferrite bead on the AC AND the DC side feeding the lights is needed to help suppress the switching power supply RFI noise. Suitable snap on beads are FSB31-1/2 for the 1-250 MHz range.
We have also had reported wireless HDTV boxes, and FOSCAM and AMCREST security camera systems causing RFI to garage door remote openers. Use our Garage Door Opener RFI kit to suppress the interference to the opener (VICTIM) – you need one kit for each opener. Maximize the distance from the camera to the openers may also help. Additionally shield cable to the garage door sensors may be needed depending on severity of the camera RFI.
Obvious Tech Note: make sure your remote batteries have enough energy to activate the GDO or the signal they transmit may not be large enough to over ride the RFI signal, but a fresh battery may be able to overcome the weak RFI source and allow the GDO to operate correctly.
