Hi Steve:
     The Kenwood power supply I have has a half inch cable with I believe 
six conductors in it going to the radio. So, those chokes I ordered should 
fit great. I am interested in finding some RF suppressors for the TV, DVD 
and Stereo though. The thing is that they belong to other family members. 
So, no soldering or any thing like that. Smile. Any ideas on where to go on 
entertainment centers? I come in on the TV screen.

God bless,
Mark
