Hi Roger,

I have a Buddipole setup and was plagued with RF feed back causing all kinds of problems. I tried the clamp on fairrite chokes with no help at all. My coax was 20 or 25 feet long so I took about 10 feet of it and wrapped it into a coil about 6 inches in diameter and tie strapped it together. I now have no RF feedback at all. I had a friend who had a Hamstick dipole and he put about 20 of the clamp on chokes before he got rid of his RF feed back. I have read a lot of chatter on the Buddipole forum about getting the antenna away for the RV so I'm going to buy a tripod and mast and try that. When I run my Ic706mkiig with a AH4 tuner I also had RF problems and found that I had to ground the radio to the frame of the truck and has to put several of those clamp type chokes on the tuner control wire to get rid of the problems. So keep experimenting and you will find a solution. Good Luck.
