Chuck,
I emailed MyAntennas this morning and they got right back to me.
You are right, there are two stacks of two.

I don't see but two either, however, I assume there are two stacks of two...

Jim,

Very well built.  I am curious about one thing.  Their write up states
that this unit
uses 4  cascaded ferrite cores.  In the picture I can only see 2.
Thanks for sharing !

I just received a pair of  CMC-230-5K  common mode chokes...from
MyAntennas.com to experiment with.
They are configured as a  line isolator, with  silver-teflon  SO-239s  on
each side.  They can also be configured as
a balun, with a pair of standoffs on the balanced ant side if you like.
  Extremely well designed and built, better
than I expected.   He does a beautiful job of terminating the coax.  I
will try some different placement configurations,
including both in series, also in different locations.
2-30 mhz rated, 7k - 12.2k Z...with RS slightly less, 5.4K – 11.3k   5 kw
icas.
If this doesn’t do it, I give up, esp with 2 of em in series.   Rated for
40db of common mode attenuation...per  unit.
Should be 80db  for a pair of em in series.   They are heavier than I
thought, and UV proof.
This will be an interesting experiment.  If I can dump some noise on RX,
I will be happy.   Stay tuned.
