SNIP 2. Put a common mode choke in the power cable to the rig. Because the wires are pretty large, it's probably not practical to wrap multiple turns around a single ferrite core. So get some large clamp-on cores you can clamp over both conductors at the same time. It's likely to take a dozen or so, or more depending on the type of ferrite. I recommend type 43, or 70-series if you can find it in clamp-on cores. 3. Apply the same kind of choke to the inverter power leads from the battery. A source of supply of 'big'! toroids for this kind of suppression is the deflection coil toroid from old TV sets. Some of them are enormous! And cheap. (read - free) I use them round the shack liberally. There is enough ferrite in there to equal 10 small toroids. (by weight) Cheers. Murray vk4aok |
