I seem to recall, while reading up on common mode chokes, where I wouldn't need
one if I employ an autotuner at the base of the antenna...is that true/factual?
I have an LDG Z11ProII autotuner right at the base of my vertical - I did add a
common choke at the input to the autotuner (21' of my L

The function of a choke on the feedline is to prevent it from becoming
part of the r
Those would be transmitted signal strength concerns.
On the receive side, if one ever listens on one's transmit antenna, the
feed coax shield is a potential path for RF noise from the house. Any noise
voltage allowed to go from the coax shield to the radials becomes a

Jim,
It will be interesting to see what others say but my take on this is that the
tuner function is to provide an impedance match
to the vertical and doesnt provide any choking. You still should have the
choke.
