Two 1/2 inch beads on each line with 3 turns through each bead as close to the cabinet exit as possible. Took the noise from S7 to my usual -125 dBm band noise level. No need for a line filter.

Remember that the number of turns required will depend on the 
frequency(ies) where there is RFI. 3 turns peaks more or less around 
10M. If you have noise below that, you'll want more turns (a lot more 
for the lower bands like 80 and 40).
