PURPOSE
These kits are designed to choke common mode currents going into or exiting from your Tuner Genius cables. Filters are supplied for the RF Input (s) RF Outputs, DC power and LAN input. The DC power line choke helps keep common mode current out of the power line which could cause interference to other devices connected to the same power line if not suppressed. The LAN cable choke keeps any RFI off the LAN cable input.
USE
RFI-AT-FLEX-TG Standard kit for tuners with SO2R option and RFI-AT-FLEX-TG3 for tuners with 3 antenna outputs option (1X3).
Note if you use other cables into the tuner such as PTT or otherwise, use FSB31-1/2 snap on ferrites for these lines and wind 2 or more turns thru center if possible. These ferrites sold separately.

Generator RFI testimonial:
Bob 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. Ken VE3KCY

Want to make up your own RFI kits for a particular operation? Here are links to some of typical RFI solutions used in portable operations:
If you use a computer for logging in your portable operations, RFI getting into computers will often lock up your computer and/or radio and a computer RFI suppression kits may be helpful
Make your expedition or portable operation a pleasant and fun outing and remember to take along your RFI kits so you have more time to operate rather then to troubleshoot intermittent or noisy receiver conditions.
Portable Antenna Kits
If you need an effective portable antenna which folds up for transport yet is easy to deploy at your operating site, consider the BULLET series of end fed wire antennas.
