It looks like Guy added an extra choke (the white one) for the Elad. Wondering where he got it (chokes are getting harder to find nowadays). Also, is there a USB memory stick there next to the Elad connection? I make out 3 connections: the small mouse dongle, the Elad, and the mystery stick.
One last question–how much separation does Guy need from the antenna? That tablet still produces some RFI.
I hope Guy makes another video of it in action and also shows the 5V power supply he uses in the field.

It looks great though, a real breakthrough!
