Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Bought this to cut down on rf. Made my 40 and 20 meter much quieter. Also, my receiver noise is radically reduced.

Pl259 is an isolation choke for the ocfd tuner. It works great and has stopped rf that was getting into my ham shack on the coax shielding. The choke is designed to isolate a run of coaxial cable so that it works as a counter poise.

Haven't been bitten yet. It was shipped in a timely manner and well protected. No complaints whatsoever.

Easy to install and stop rf feed back to the shack. Made of pvc, and easy to install.



Cons

Cheap pvc with sub standard connectors. Failed to eliminate rf feed back wether placed at the antenna or in the shack. All previous mfj products function flawlessly up until this.

Competitiveness


One side connects to the antenna lead in coax and the other end attaches to the tuner by way of a 6foot coax jumper

    However the case is not even close to water repellent


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    There is no sealing at the connectors and there is a small hole in each end so dont even think of using it at the feedpoint in any but 24 hour warm dry weather


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    For a feedpoint choke go somewhere else and be ready to spend much more money

    Dont get rid on this thing though


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Now i can receive even the faintest transmissions which i couldnt hear over the humming noise


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Then it goes to a mfj962d tuner and next to this mfj line isolator


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The final destination is an ocfd antenna


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Now all that is gone and i put out a great signal
