Tell me about the mechanical details -- was this a single choke on two cores, or two single-core chokes? Was freeze/thaw a factor -- that is, did they get wet/icy? The only reason I recommend NOT enclosing chokes is to maximize dissipation of any heat produced. That's not an issue on RX lines. 73, Jim K9YC _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list TowerTalk@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk |
