1. [RFI] Earth isolation (score: 1)

Has anyone any ideas or suggestions on preventing interference from the earth connection in the shack? Is there a way of isolating the earth (probably a contradiction in terms) to prevent RFI getting

MDS? Is there some particular problem you are having? Tom Rauch has observed, and I generally agree, that most "RF in the shack" problems are really antenna problems. I would extend that statement to

What you really did was reduce the current flowing in those unintential antennas by adding impedance to the return path. That was a band-aid made necessary by the pin 1 problems in the gear. The more

That is not the model I am thinking of. Rather, it is of a cable acting as a short long-wire antenna, and there is a current path for it, just as with any antenna. The current path for many ( most) l

No. You have several misunderstandings here. 1. The so-called pin 1 problem is a mis-wiring of a SHIELD connnection. 2. It is NOT associated with intentional antennas -- that is, the antennas we norm

I think what Tom is saying is if you change the impedance of a common-mode "Circuit" by adding an RF choke to the cable entrance, current no longer flows at all so it doesn't have to go anywhere sinc

Leave out the word "characteristic" -- it's not a transmission line. Just plain old series impedance. Now the sentence is right on! Yes Again, not the right words, but the right problem. The single p

You're correct Jim-- wrong word choice. "Characteristic Impedance" has a specific meaning in electrical theory related to transmission lines. My goof. That's why peer review for papers is so importan
