HF Shortwave Choke Coil Ring EM-43 & EM-25 | 1.8–30MHz
1.8–30MHz Shortwave Choke Coil Ring – EM-43 & EM-25, M Male–M Female Interface
Upgrade your HF shortwave radio setup with this precision-wound shortwave choke coil ring. Designed to suppress common-mode current across the 1.8–30 MHz frequency range, this coil ring dramatically reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) between your transceiver and feeder line — keeping your signal clean and your station performing at its best.
Available in two configurations: the EM-25 (small ring, 200W) and the EM-43 (large ring, 1000W). The larger EM-43 ring offers superior heat dissipation, making it ideal for high-power HF operations.
Key Features
- Common-Mode Current Suppression: Effectively reduces EMI, protecting your radio equipment and improving overall signal quality.
- High-Quality Ferrite Rings: Carefully wound with premium imported ferrite cores — EM-25 and EM-43 material for reliable HF performance.
- M Male–M Female Interface: Easily connects in series between your radio station and feeder line with no adapters needed.
- Two Ring Options: EM-43 (large, ~6 cm diameter, 1000W rated) and EM-25 (small, ~4.5 cm diameter, 200W rated) — choose the one that fits your power requirements.
- Durable ABS Construction: Robust black ABS housing protects the coil winding for long-lasting field use.
- No Battery Required: Passive device — plug in and start operating immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a shortwave choke coil ring used for in an HF radio setup?
A: A shortwave choke coil ring is a passive ferrite-core device placed in series between your HF transceiver and the antenna feeder line. It suppresses common-mode current — unwanted RF current that flows on the outer shield of your coax — which is a major source of electromagnetic interference (EMI). By blocking this common-mode current, the choke coil ring helps improve signal clarity, reduce RF feedback into the shack, and protect connected equipment.
Q: What is the difference between the EM-25 and EM-43 choke coil rings?
A: The EM-25 is a smaller ferrite ring (approx. 4.5 cm diameter) rated for up to 200W — ideal for QRP or low-to-medium power HF stations. The EM-43 is a larger ferrite ring (approx. 6 cm diameter) rated for up to 1000W, offering superior heat dissipation and suited to high-power HF operations. As a general rule, the larger the ferrite ring, the better its thermal performance under sustained high-power use.
Q: What connector type does this choke coil ring use?
A: This choke coil ring uses an M-type (PL-259/SO-239 compatible) Male-to-Female interface, making it straightforward to connect in series between your radio and feeder coaxial cable without any additional adapters in most standard HF radio installations.
Q: Does this device require a power source or batteries?
A: No. This is a fully passive device — it requires no external power source or batteries. Simply connect it inline between your transceiver and antenna feeder to begin benefiting from common-mode current suppression immediately.
