Re: [Flexradio] VU5K Question

Robert, It might be more effective (and cheaper) than ferrites to kill the common mode currents at the antenna with a balun. The only thing in a Flex system that may be more RFI-sensitive than other radios is the firewire cable. Are you using a good Granite firewire cable? Jim KJ2P To:

Various older Handbooks, including my 1962, have a simple circuit of diodes to lessen nearby blasts of audio. It's called a noise limiter, and works between the audio out and the headphones on the principle of diode current limiting. Not an AVC circuit but it may help. Bob, NZ5A Sent from
