[TowerTalk] Ameritron RCS-4 Remote Coax Switch

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

In QST for January 2013, AD5X shows a "high Power Bias T".
He uses: 40 μH, 3 A inductor, J.W. Miller 5240-RC
(Mouser 542-5240-RC).

As an alternative, since the RCS4 chokes are not in series
with the RF, you could simply use two in series.

Since F1 in the control unit is specified at 1A, I would
suspect the JW Miller 3A choke would be the best solution.
