| Reviews Summary for DX Engineering Feedline Current Chokes |
|
Reviews: 4
|
Average rating: 5.0/5
|
MSRP: $49.95+
|
Description: This DX Engineering Feedline Current Chokes decouple the feedline from the antenna, which will improve the directivity, front to back ratio and reduce RFI and noise coming from the radio.
If you wish to reduce feedline radiation and improve reception, a Feedline Current Choke is recommended if your SWR is already low. Adding a DX Engineering Feedline Current Choke at the point where the feedline exits the area of the antenna will substantially reduce unwanted feedline radiation or reception without the need for improved station grounding.
DX Engineering offers 4 types of current chokes:
- DXE-FCC050-H05-P: Feedline Current Choke, plastic case
- DXE-RFCC-1: Receive Only Feedline Current Choke
- DXE-VFCC-H05: Vertical Feedline Current Choke Kit, 2/5 kW, HF
- DXE-VFCC-H10: Vertical Feedline Current Choke Kit, 5/10 kW, HF

Good Value
|
Time owned: 6 to 12 months

Last summer I built a 1/4 wave 40 mtr vertical. Instead of just putting a SO-239 on the antenna I bought a DXE-VFCC-H05. It worked fantastic. I liked it so much I bought a second DXE-VFCC-H05.
The second choke I put on my 160 mtr inverted L. It replaced a homemade "Collins Coax" choke. The DX Engineering performed MUCH better than my homemade choke. Very pleased with the improved performance.

Great Product

I replaced a RadioWavz 1:1 Choke Balun Isolation transformer with a DXE-VFCC-H05-A. The improvement was very noticeable. I needed a choke balun and the former was cheaper so I bought it. It caused my radio to see a higher SWR on all the bands (Tennadyne T-6). I was not happy with the results. I then bought the DX Engineering choke and all problems solved. I could have saved myself some money and frustration.
Great Product

Works Great Crappy cover

Time owned: 0 to 3 months

I bought and installed the DXE-FCC050-H05-A Feedline Current Choke. on my Hustler 6 BVT. i must say it works remarkably well. No tvi/rfi nothing. I will admit i was not thrilled to open the box and see the componet's i guess i expected more for the money. amd i would think they could used a better case design aswell. i was going to buy the Array Solutions version. but i admit i was cheap. But i did seal it all up like the state in there manual. and it works very well.
i would give it a 4+ if there was a marking. Only reason i really did not like it was there cheap cover. But heck it did what it was meant to do. So i will be nice and give it a 5
