I'm a member of NCCC, the Northern California Contest Club. A question was recently asked on our reflector about the merits of various BPF filter sets. ICE RF bandpass filters are fairly well regarde

Not a bad cable, a bad router. The cable is acting like a long wire antenna because the router has lousy common mode isolation on the output that the cable is connected to. The simple ferrite chokes

VERY interesting. I'd guess that the cable was miswired on both ends, with the transmission circuits improperly split between twisted pairs of the CAT5. Such a cable would pass a simple continuity te

cable First, you MUST use enough turns before you begin seeing much benefit from these chokes. The particular cores you purchased may be too small for this use. I recommend the 2.4-inch o.d. 1.4-inch

That's a VERY broad statement. Exactly WHAT is the problem? Pix? Audio? How is the TV set fed? Is it connected to an audio system or video system? As K1TTT noted, a likely cause is a pin 1 problem in

Well, sort of. But ANY antenna that is WORKING is going to put RF in your house. A better way to look at it is to say that some antenna SYSTEMS inherently put more RF there than others. :) The word "

You may be right, but I doubt it. In other words, it's far more likely to be common mode current lighting up a pin 1 problem. If the transmit frequency is 28 MHz or 50 MHz (unlikely nowadays), changi

The most common path for HF RF into a VCR is common mode current on the antennna leadin coupling via a "pin 1 problem" in the VCR. This is especially true on the lower HF bands. Study the section in

As long as all turns are in the same direction, clock wise or counter clock wise doesn't matter. Iron vs. ferrite DOES make a difference. I haven't measured or seen data for any multiturn powdered ir
