The PackTenna PT202 is a compact in-line RF feedline choke designed for portable HF antenna systems.
It is intended to help reduce common-mode RF current travelling back down the feedline towards the radio, which can help reduce RF feedback, interference, and unwanted RF on station equipment. This is particularly useful with portable end-fed half-wave and end-fed random wire antennas, especially when operating above typical QRP power levels.
The PT202 is fitted with BNC connectors on both ends, making it easy to insert into a portable BNC-based antenna setup. It works well with PackTenna antennas and PackTenna coaxial feedlines, and is a useful accessory for lightweight SOTA, POTA, camping, travel, and field radio installations.

Installation Notes
The PT202 is installed in-line between the antenna and radio. PackTenna recommend placing the choke around the mid-point between the antenna and the radio.
It is generally not needed at very low QRP power levels, but may be useful as power increases, if RF feedback is encountered, or if the installation is affected by common-mode current.
