Thanks Ian, and for emphasis on the point!

There are some RFI cases where a single clip-on core is a complete cure... but there are many more cases where it's not enough. To have some serious chance of curing RFI, you need to use several turns on a fairly large lump of ferrite. Note the recommendation about the Fair-rite 5943003801 core. This is a large core, of the right grade (#43) for good HF performance, and also you need to wind several turns of the phone line through it. A choke like that will be equivalent to a string of maybe 20-30 clip-on cores... so if one clip-on core doesn't work, try harder. My point was that if you could notice a change in the problem for the better, you have a path down which to go. Doing a better job of solving the problem is better than never finding which road has problems on it. -- -- Sleep well; OS2's still awake! ![]() Mike Luther |
