If there is ever any question about where to place ferrites, I’ll say in
general, put the ferrites at both ends of the coax (unless its a really short
run).
Some may argue that that is overkill. While there are always exceptional
circumstances, I would in general respectfully disagree with
Hi Mike,
I would put the ferrite at the end of the coax before it goes into the
rig if there were rf coming down the coax. Common mode energy can and
will get on the outside of the coax. I am not an expert on this, but I
would expect that any problem that would cause a transmitter to

So where is the optimum place to place the ferrites for this antenna if you
have a problem like Alan described?
Does the near field extend roughly to half the stacking distance of that
antenna (i.e. 6 feet or so), making that the best place for the ferrites?
Does a mostly vertical coax
Hello Alan
That was my antenna design. It has a teflon coax 1/2 wave balun that
kills RF on the shield side of the coax, but there is not much you can
do about near field energy getting picked up by the outside of the coax
due to radiation. It is best to tape the coax down snugly along the
Hum, I was getting this HI CUR error only with my Directive Systems 6 Meter
antenna (DS50-5) that has a 1:1 SWR I hope they know antenna design? Maybe
not? The toroids fixed my issue. I just love how some of the forum or so
judgmental, it is a only a freaking hobby, chill.

This is only one example!

Ferrites are probably not the answer here. Problem showed up with no
changes in configuration, and problem happens with a dummy load. Plus I
have ferrites in most of those locations already. This only happens on 40
meters and happens both with antenna connected and when dummy load
connected.

I was getting this HI CUR message to and it was driving me CRAZY! I called
Elecraft and I was going to send my K3 back to them and then I saw a few
YouTube videos and I installed a TON of toroids on the K3 and Amp and every
wire in my shack and no more HI CUR message. Best of luck!

Today I find that I get a HI CUR error when transmitting at just a little
over 50 watts. Switched to a DL and find that on 40 meters my K3 draws more
current at 50 watts than it does on all the other bands. This is with the
tuner bypassed and hooked to one of my old cantennas. SWR shows flat on 40
14 matches
