No idea at all. I stapled 100 ft of #26 stranded wire to Bill's ceiling today in a rectangular pattern and ran out of wire just before i ran out of ceiling. I'll go check how it's doing tomorrow.
It was really a "I have an IEC EMI socket" and it provided ground and power line common mode EMI suppression.
It's very much an "actual miles may vary" world.

Re the EMI filter did you find this to be a benefit and if so what noise did it help with?

I made a cardboard template that just fit the socket. I moved it around until I found a good location surrounding the power outlet and marked it off with Magic Marker. I then used a nibbler to cut the bulk of the metal away followed by some clean up with a file.
If you have any interest in the radio as a collector's item I recommend mounting an EMI filter under the power transformer. I was going to do that and had even mounted the filter, but then I realized I could find the IEC socket. Finding a cable clamp to fit would be a long exercise in "hunt the wumpus". And I like IEC sockets whereas I despise permanent cords.
The nibblers are shown on top. I actually used one of the yellow handle ones with the spring and clamp removed for some of the detail work because I didn't have the other at the time.

Hi, could you please document or show some pictures of how you did the emi socket
I also have being thinking of doing the same as i have a spare emi socket sitting here unused at the moment
How did you cut the metal chassis etc?
Thanks

I've been prepping my FRG-7 to lend to a gentleman who lives in a 12 x 13 ft room in a nursing facility..
I'm looking for suggestions of what sort of antenna to set up for him.? Do I need to connect to all 3 ports or just one?
I modified the? radio today and installed an IEC socket with integral EMI filter mostly to improve the ground situation and simplify cord handling.
Thanks,
Reg
