Hi Martin,

I would not use snap-ons, or slip-ons. I would use FT-240-31 cores from Fair-Rite. The cores with wraps on them work far better than the snap on chokes.

Look here:

for everything you need to know about use of ferrite material for CMC choking.

Place a choke at the feedpoint of every antenna if possible, or as close as possible to the feedpoint.

Jim's CMC material is the gold standard for this sort of thing. If you have only time to read one paper make it this one:

The attached picture displays my proposed CM choking scheme around the antenna switch. Take a look at this and comment, please - what is insufficient, what is an overkill etc.
