[RFI] RV converter noise

[K9MA]

“Converter” in the RV world is either a 120 VAC to 12 V power supply or a battery charger. Of course, they can produce the same kind of RFI as an inverter.

There's an AC line filter on page 23 of k9yc.com/RFI-Ham.pdf  You can also use my latest (2018) Cookbook for transmitting chokes wound with #12 THHN as a rough guide for the DC side, in both cases, increasing the wire size as needed to handle the current. Don't go by the circuit rating, measure the currents under something close to the full loads you actually use.
