I don't mean to keep beating a dead horse, but I really get a good laugh when some of you microprocessor types tell me what narrow bandwidth my old Johnson Matchbox has! I have used it to feed 500 wa

Sherrill, I use a high impedance balun made with low loss teflon insulated wire on a T-200-2 toroid. It is broad band and it is outside. It is also a impedance transformer from 600 Ohm for a ladder l

I think by what was meant is that the Matchbox has a lower impedance matching range when compared to the "infamous 'T' match" circuit. I know the 'T' matches I have owned or built were capable of han

Jan; First I do suggest that you connect the 450 line direct to the balanced terminals of the tuner. Take advantgage of the internal balun. As to RF in the shack, if the antenna is reasonably well ba

Sherrill, my balun is made with a T-200-2 powered iron toroid. A T-200-2 toroid is not small and it is not ferrite. The band width on my balun is not as wide as a ferrite balun but it will never satu

While using two pieces of coax in a physical configuration to simulate a balanced line may appear to be satisfactory, I point out that the loss in coax operating with a high SWR i.e. 10:1 is much muc

Bob, I believe everyone is talking about using two pieces of coax to simulate a balanced at a length just long enough to get thru the wall of the house. So by your numbers if this took 10ft of coax t

Robert: You are correct when you say that coax operated at high vswr has very high loss when compared to open wire line. That is the very reason that I prefer open wire line. However, I may stand cor

I suspect the line loss when using two pieces of coax to simulate a balenced line is closer to the loss from using shielded twinlead as opposed to unshielded twinlead or ladderline. In this case the

What benefit is derived from twisting the feedline? Is it physical or electrical? From the 1920s and '30s issues of QST, I often find descriptions for adding "transposition blocks" on the feedline e

Pat, The losses are due to the DIELECTRIC of the coax, thus, would most certainly be a factor, however, as has been pointed out for only a foot or so to get thru a wall or window, this would wash out
