I second HDSDR. Have been using it for years. Other than a few minor bugs still not addressed (I realize its free but would be happy to pay if they really spiffed it up), I give it high marks. Other peoples milage may vary but there is a point where a good general purpose easy to use

My opinion: it doesn't matter if you are using coax or not. The choke can be the same. The only difference is the connectors. So you could build the Lankford choke and install BNC's if you want. Chuck From: IRCA on behalf
