Hi

It look more like it is in the end where the wires go into the controller where it need chokes ?

but the correct way will be in both ends !

Hello all,

I have a problem when transmitting on 80 and 160:  At power levels over
about 100 W it causes my heating thermostat to change its setting.
Sometimes it goes up and other times it goes down.  There isn't enough wire
coming out of the wall to put a reasonably sized toroid on and much of the
wire running to the heating system is buried in the walls, so shielding
would be very difficult.

I would welcome any suggestions.  Oh, I do shut the thermostat off while on
80 or 160 and that works okay until the XYL starts asking why the heat
won't come on! hi hi

TIA and 73,
