I regularly run 1500 watts RTTY contesting to my TH7 with a BN86. Works fine.

I tried 8-10 turns of RG400 on a FT-240-61 core and the SWR was not nearly as good as it was with the BN-86 as Gerald has pointed out here.

The TH-7DX is sold with a BN-86. I immediately replaced mine with the
BN-4000, which handles more power.

I regularly run legal limit into my TH-7DX/BN-4000 without any problems,
even on RTTY.

 What balun is being used with the TH7DXX.  over the years i have owned a
few hy gain ants and burnt up the Hy Gain BA baluns that were offered. so i went to wind your own coax baluns.. i was reading a few of the old articals
on tower talk and saw where the TH7DXX would not work well with a coax
balun.. my amps are Alpha 3 tubers and Henrys so dont want to have to
replace their so called high power BA-4000

 someday in the dead of winter hi hi... what are most of you using .
thanks for the help
