Just a comment, Ape, could you use 2 toroids say with 4-5 turns through both of them, to sort of double the amount of inductance on the cable? Awesome video. 73, ZL3XD.
I’d imagine it would help, I’ve never tried though. I will say the heavy duty USB cable I bought has one at each end but I think they are for higher frequencies 👍
New tech ticket and little money. Only thing I have to do is hit a DMR repeater less than 15 miles away with 5 watts.Won't be dealing with problems like this for a few decades.
Congrats on the ticket. I was a ham for about 4 years before getting into digital, granted it wasn’t that popular, and close to 5 years before deciding to get a radio like this and take the general test. It will be waiting for you when you are ready 👍
Great vid! I've put the beads on my USB cable - thanks for the info on the number of passes on the beads. Cheers and 73 from VK
Glad to hear it's working for you!
Excellent video Sir. I wish I had answers to help. It's a constant battle.
Thanks 2H, it’s something to keep me busy for sure 👍
Good video! - looks like you are on the right path to clearing up as much of the hash as you can.
Thanks 741, I do need to get an RFI kit. The thing is sometimes it’s not bad at all, others it shuts everything down. Thanks for watching 👍
A leatle linear ps 6V is the solution. I get it!😁
Good info man looking forward to part two
Thanks UC, glad you liked it 👍

Yes you could but two cores doesn't necessarily mean "double"
Yeah, RFI sucks... and once you get the noise from the Pi cleaned up, you will find something else to chase. :) Good video man.
Yeah, seems never ending. Thanks for watching 👍
RFI.....trying to find all the causes is never ending!
Hey Ron! It can test a fellers nerves... 👍
@@TheSmokinApe I know the feeling!
What would happen if you put two in series for a total of 7 wraps? Serious question from a newbie to Ham radio.

@@TheSmokinApe I can't afford to buy good equipment for the bands my tech license grants but I may take the general in the future.
