Inline Isolators for RFI reduction ?
Question to those who may have used one - Do inline isolators work
well on RX? Such as those sold by Radioworks? Thanks, Bruce Jensen |

Thanks, Bruce Jensen Yes, amateurs have been rolling their own for a long time, most often referred to as "traps" on an amateur antenna. Allows operation over multiple bands when wire lengths are cut and tuned correctly ... Regards, JS |

Thanks, Bruce Jensen BpnJ : Why are you considering an Inline Isolator ? 1st and "Inline Isolator" requires inserting something 'in-the-line' in the Antenna to Radio Feed-in-Line. 2nd the "Inline Isolator" requires two more Connections {Joints} in the Antenna to Radio Feed-in-Line. *If* Your Antenna to Radio Feed-in-Line is less that 150 Feet : Then most likely you do not need an "Inline Isolator". *If* Your Antenna to Radio Feed-in-Line is on-the-ground or buried-under-the-ground a few inches : Then most likely you do not need an "Inline Isolator". However : If your Antenna to Radio Feed-in-Line is In-the-Air {Overhead} from Tree to House : Then may be you could use and "Inline Isolator" at the House entry-point with another Grounding Point/Ground Rod.

Short answer - I am getting desperate over the noise level here. Grasping at straws. The fellow I spoke to who makes these things said they are best used as close to the receiver input as possible. |

Thanks, Dave, but I am afraid I don't even know what these devices are or how they'd be used. |

Thanks - I see the Wellbrook diagrams. Believe me, If I had the space, that's how I'd do it. I have a tiny lot with the house plopped right in the center, power lines fore and aft and neighbors by the bushel within a hundred feet. My wire, by necessity, must go over my rooftop. In all other respects, it is built roughly as you see in the "good" diagram. The isolator is a last resort. |
