vertical. I would like to add a common-mode choke at the base as part of
the install. I built but haven't used, a bifilar choke with a 2.4 in.
type 31 core, but since the tuner has an 8 ft coax pigtail for the input
could do as well with a large type 31 clamp on with multiple turns of
the RG-58 coax through it? This would reduce the number of PL-259
connections and would just be a simpler installation. Any comments
appreciated. Thanks.
with a 2.4" diameter core, you can pass the PL259 through it at least 5
times with RG58. If you want more choking impedance, use more cores.
don't forget to choke the DC power/control wires too.
