1:1 Common Mode Choke Build

Build of a 1:1 common mode choke from beginning to end.
The RF issues of my friend solved with the choke. Definitely a success.

Thanks for this series of videos, it's helped me understand how chokes work and I will be making some for my shack soon. 👍

Great to hear. You're welcome! 🙂

[@darylcheshire1618]

so you don’t have to wrap the toroid with coax wire? Can I use 16 gauge speaker wire?

[@adventurelaus]

You could but it might behave differently than the higher quality 18 gauge silver plated PTFE wire I used. The speaker wire insulation isn't as heat resistant so if the wire gets warm that can cause issues. Otherwise I'm not sure what else might change. I haven't tried other wires.

[@DaveSheeks]

Looking at the strippers when he strips the wire at 55:22 I would say 16 gauge.
