anybody know of a site to show me what I need to switch from cat 5 to fiber for my 5K and 6K Flex rigs?
(hopefully this will eliminate of lessen rfi) I have just a little problem with the 5K but the 6K seems more susceptible.
The tower is right behind the house, and the antennas are only 20' above the roof.  pse and tu de Bill w9ol

    Hi Bill,
    I just sent you a direct email with some information on how I added a fiber link in my CAT5 ethernet  setup.  It provides both RF isolation and lightning surge protection.    Hope this is helpful, let me know if it doesn't get to you.

    Regards, Al / NN4ZZ

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
