Hi all, I followed the advice about the advantage of the larger cores and ordered a few those and a few of these: 0431176451. They came in today and the latter ones are *huge* and heavy; I was shocked when I open the parcel from UPS (Mouser sure packs them well). But hopefully they will come in

I'd like to follow up on K2AV's excellent recent post. Thanks to K9AY's previous work, I also was turned on to the type 31 material for RF suppression at HF. I have found it to be substantially better than type 43, especially on the lower bands and for broadband use. A hint for those of you who

For the record, Mouser has a similar snap-on ferrite in the preferred (for HF) #31 material here: http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Fair-Rite/0431167281/?qs=KmHvPbTOE4S79xB57hcPyQ%3d%3d The part number is 623-0431167281. The hole is about 0.4. A smaller version is this part# 623-0431164281

In series on one cable. It took that many to bring the spurs (fairly clean carriers every 61kHz, peaking in the 15m band) down to the antenna noise level on that band. AB2TC - Knut Leigh L. Klotz Jr WA5ZNU wrote: ab2tc wrote: I used 4 of them to bring down the noise on the Ethernet
