Not to mention switching power supplies.

Blocking the currents that travel on the outside of your coax,
from getting to your antenna and back into the coax, can save
you from a lot of RFI trouble.

Coax shielding only works if the noise is kept from getting
inside the coax everywhere. Wideband choke baluns help with that.
