 Experimenters with Non Snap Ferrite Cylinder Bead RF Chokes

Conclusion: The transformer may be used as Insulated Transformer for Receiver at the HF and MW. The transformer may be used for some purposes (like insulation transformer installed on antenna and then matched with coaxial cable) at transmission mode at the 160- 15 meter Bands.

So, the experiment shows that the Ferrite "Bead" RF Choke could be successfully used for radio amateur purposes. It is possible to make with the stuff Insulated Receiving Transformer, similar to:

Insulation RX Transformer,

As well RF transformer made on Ferrite "Bead" RF Choke may be used with some special antennas in transmitting/receiving mode.

Ferrite "Bead" RF Choke made like a weather proof part. So transformer made on the base may be placed outside with very light weather proof prevention measures, straight away at the receiving or transmitting antenna.
