Off Center Fed (OCF) Antenna Feed Line Choke for 1/4" coax (1.8-61 MHz)

Got an off center fed antenna fed with RG-8X size coax and having feed line radiation (RFI) problems?

This feed line choke will help solve the problem of feed line radiation (which causes RFI to nearby object close to you coax) as well as Improving antenna pattern by preventing your dipole from becoming a tripole

Simple to install as an extension to your existing coax feed line using a female to female barrel connector (available separately).

Install quickly, reduce your coax radiation issues and start working more DX with a better transmission (and reception) antenna pattern.

Also works with single or multi-band loop antennas using a 2:1, 4:1 or 6:1 transformer without a choke.


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:

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.

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.
