Yes, considerable research has shown that #31 is quite superior for 160M
and HF.
The type 43 is
what I had on hand and four turns provides about 20 dB suppression with this
wiring construction, as measured on my network analyzer.
From some quick preliminary testing, it appears all of the RFI is GONE.
No more RFI from the unit while it is running at normal load.
I strongly suspect that the same chokes placed on existing wiring (if it
was long enough to wind the needed turns) would also have solved the
problem.
