In solving receive noise problems on 6M I have done just that after 
looking at the Fair-Rite data sheets: two turns per core with 
multiple chokes in series as needed. It worked well.

It has been many years since I made a serious effort to deal with 
receive noise on 2M and back then it was a haphazard approach using 
whatever I had on hand. I have little or nothing on hand this time 
so I am trying to make sensible purchasing decisions.
