Product Details
MPN: RFI-GEN-3
Type: New
Country/Region of Manufacture: United States
Filter Power Rating (PEP watts): power rating of cable
RFI Suppression Range (MHz): 1-300 MHz

The RFI generator kit includes 2 ring filters with 3 inch inside diameter for 2 or more turns of AC/DC generator cable at generator and another 2 or more turns through center at the end of the generator cable near the powered device. The filter near the generator isolates generator power cable and prevents it from acting as an RFI antenna (generator source) and the filter near the powered device prevents the powered device from using the generator cable as an RFI antenna.

Use 2 or more turns through the filter for higher RFI suppression than a single turn (2 turns is 4 times the suppression as 1 turn, 3 turns is 9 times a single turn, etc.)

If you have a generator cable less than 1/2" diameter, consider the RFI-GEN-1 generator filter with a 1" inside diameter.

Note: generator cable not included.

Portable operation is fun but also brings challenges to the radio operator concerning receiver “noise” levels, RF interference from adjacent sources including close by transmitting stations, and RFI from portable generators.  A typical scenario and some suggested Palomar product solutions are shown in the picture below:

Generator RFI testimonial:

Received your order in a timely fashion. Tried the generator kit on Sunday & it drops the noise from S9 to S5 and 
took out all the electrical noise.  I may want some more toroids from you at some point for other interference problems
I have  here.
