Let's learn about RFI Suppression and RF Choking to better help you understand and thus choose which direction you might wish to go in regards to RFI and RF Choking at your shack. Those who find noise and eliminate it will hear stations further away sooner than the guy who doesn't. The RX Noise level drops dramatically in many cases for those who pay attention to RFI and RF Choking. If you can't hear them, you can't work them.

At our Greyline website, we offer easier, plug n play offerings, plus a more DIY approach offering with the parts you will need in the RF Choke section under (Add-Ons). Choose various methods from Plug n Play ready made boxes or roll your own with Snap On Beads and Toroid Cores for your RFI suppression.

Pro Tip: When making your own RF Chokes, note our Mini and Maxi Chokers are targeting 500-5000 Ohms of impedance and up to 38dB of suppression. By winding your own power or feed line cables around a Toroid Core you can reasonably expect to construct a world class choke with respectable suppression levels starting at 12-17 turns on HF.
