Product Details

This RFi kit was created to eliminate RFI issues from the excellent Heil Parametric Receive Audio System which can highly tailor audio signal from your radio to a a powered speaker or multiple headphones. However when installed near a high powered HF antenna it can ave RFi issues. This kit was created out of necessity from a ham using high power antennas near the radio. The use of the ferrite filters completely eliminated the RFI issue allowing the ham to enjoy the use of the PRAS.

The ferrite filters are selected to suppress RFI from 1 to 300 MHz. The filters are easy to install, don’t require modification of the protected equipment and work in almost all cases. See product picture for suggested filter use.

What is included in the kit?

The RFI-PRAS kit contains a a ring filter for the AC power cord used on the DC supply cables to the PRAS and high powered speakerr and 3 additional snap-on filters for the both ends of the speaker cable and for the audio input (from the transceiver/audio source) to the PRAS..

You get 1 ring filter and 5 1/2" ID snap on filters and an installation manual.

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.
