There are a lot of reasons why window line is not a good idea, but it's
totally wrong to say that a common mode choke will choke the signals on
window line. I really don't understand why you would say that. The
fields generated by each wire for a signal traveling along window line
oppose each other ... there is no field to choke if the currents are
equal (i.e., the line is balanced). And if the currents are not equal,
then the common mode choke more or less forces them to be equal ... just
like a common mode choke is supposed to.

We're talking about a common mode choke, not a balun/transformer.

Actually that's not true. A lot of baluns are wound with balanced
transmission line.

Hi Bill,
Choking the window line is not a good idea - you'll choke the
signals too. Common mode chokes are mainly used for coax cables and
multi-conductor cables. I'm sure you'll get many more detailed
replies from the experts.
Good Luck!
