In trying to calm down the telephone RFI problem in my old house, the K-COM folks suggested I replace the old, solid, 4-conductor wire with CAT 3 cable. I'd never heard of CAT3, only CAT 5, and am wo

CAT3 is an older version CAT5. Used very commonly in phone/network systems. You can run CAT5 as well. Is it worth it... possibly?! That is a million dollar question!! Yes it is a lot of work. If you

Twisted pair cable picks up far less differential mode RF than untwisted cable, and the higher the twist ratio, the better the rejection. Go straight to CAT5. You may still have problems with common

You don't have to replace the wiring. Get yourself an old AC brut force line filter from one of the surplus electronic warehouses or buy a new one from Arcade electronics. I used to run 1KW into a 40

My 6m SSB radio was getting into the landline in my wife's office. A 1" long Fair Rite #43 clamp-on took it right out. You might be surprised to learn that multiple turns around large ferrite cores y

Before you make this statement, you should measure chokes built with some of these cores. I have done so, and in a disciplined way. In general, the resistive component of the core's permeability (wha

In my own quest for rf proof phone lines, I too went the CAT 5 route and had little luck. What I finally did was twist all the unused wires together at the ends of the runs where the phones are and t

Reading the latest (July) QST, I see that I'm not alone in recommending this technique. See "Workbench" on pages 54-55, with a photo of about 10 turns of coax wound around a toroidal core. The author

Tom, I think it's time to play "I'll show you mine and you show me yours." Here are data for a large Fair Rite clamp-on -- 2" OD, 1" ID, 2" long. http://audiosystemsgroup.com/BiggestClampZ.jpg http:/
