The Ferrite Ring Combo Pack is a convenient solution for troubleshooting RFI/EMI from unknown frequencies or multiple frequencies that require multiple suppression mixes. Included in this combo pack are ten 1.4″ OD/.9″ ID ring toroids as follows:
Mix 77 effective from .1-50 MHz including AM Broadcast band – quantity: 2
Mix 43 effective from 25-250 MHz for general purpose – quantity: 2
Mix 61 effective from 200-2000 MHz for cell phone, WIFI, HDTV, Cable TV interference – quantity: 2
The ring toroids are useful for AC/DC common mode choking with multiple turns as shown below
AC Cable on F-240 Toroid – 7 turns |
DC Cable on F240 – 4 turns |
The ring toroids can also be used on coax or signal lines as shown below:
RG58 12 turns on FT240 |
Ethernet Cable on F-240 Toroid – 7 turns |
For RFI/EMI wrap as many turns as possible for higher choking (under 30 MHz). For over 30 MHz, 1-3 turns is usually sufficient due the to capacitive effect of multiple turns reducing choking effect.
The rings are also useful for making impedance transformers like 4;1, 9:1, etc.
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.
