[BC] 9th FM harmonic causing interference

[Alan Alsobrook]

I use a Bird sniffer element that is sold for a 7/8" (Bird 43) line 
segment, that is flat from 50KHz to 1Ghz. It's not advertised for for 
other line segments but by sweeping it I was able to verify frequency 
response, and db attenuation for each line size 1-5/8 - 6". I was 
worried about the 500W power rating, but I think that is due to the 
designed element size. I've used it with over 100KW in 6" and it 
performed right on spec. I specifically like this one since what you see 
is what you have, no calibration chart required.
