: That is NOT a choke, it is an inductor, which can resonate with a cable
: whose length makes it capacitive. An effective choke must cause the
: common mode circuit to have a high common mode Z at the frequency(ies)

I guess there's no chance in Hell of it ever working then...  Sorry OM, 
you're screwed.  It's not a choke (despite the term being in use since the 
late 1800's because it "choked off" stray currents) and all those chokes I 
made to permanently cure my RFI are apparently just using up wire.  My 
mistake.

Photos of RFI before, after, and the century plus design non-chokes I made 
to cure it upon request.
