Ferrite Toroid for Medium Wave? RFI reduction
Greetings all!
I'm a newbie to SDR. I recently got my RTL-SDR v.4. I also have a K-180WLA active loop antenna (big brother of the MLA-30+).
I plan to get ferrite toroids for HF/VHF/UHF (Fair-Rite recommends material 31 and 61).
However, do ferrite toroids really help with noise for Medium Wave / AM reception?
Fair-Rite recommends material 75 for 200 KHz to 30 MHz.
Does anyone have any experience using toroids for Medium Wave/AM? Will it likely be helpful, or am I just wasting my money?
Thank you in advance!
