I'm not sure how you define "success" but if you measure the typical commercial 1:1 air balun in a plastic pipe on a 4 port network analyzer, you will see that it is a train wreck in terms of both mi

Is the "un" end of a balun (in particular a 4:1 balun) actually "stateless"? That is, could I attach a balanced feedline (ladder) to the "un" connection (modified to replace the coax connector with a

Putting up a Hy-gain Explorer 14 with 40m extension. The antenna came with the Hy-Gain Voltage Balun (the little black plastic box). I'm tempted to remove the BN-1 (50ohm 1:1 voltage balun) from the

Two approaches, take your pick. 1) Keep the Hy-gain balun there and add a ferrite coax choke per my cookbook. 2) Ditch the Hy-gain balun and add a ferrite choke per my cookbook. http://audiosystemsgr

Two observations: 1.  1500 watts would be about 335 volts RMS into 75 ohms, but peak voltage is about 475 volts.  Presumably the F-connector specs have some margin built it, but still ... 2.  I don't

Hi Carol, This "balun" is really a common mode choke, and while it adds inductance to the common mode circuit, that circuit includes the feedline, and in the common mode circuit, it becomes part of t

1. The F connector has a peak rating of 1200 V RMS, but I totally agree I would not be comfortable using it. 2. We had access to a way to test up to a 1000 Vdc. All of the rest of the test equipment

I would not want an F connector on any of my TX antennas. I do not have any RG11 however I thought that a standard PL-259 such as an 83-1SP fits that cable perfectly. John KK9A Hello all, I have two

I have a lot of it, both Belden 8213 and Davis RF-branded with the same specs (and I measured loss, Zo, and VF). The fit quite well into 83-1SP connectors. But remember, Most RG-numbers are NOT a spe

RG11 possibly would withstand many KW. Its loss on 40m is miniscule, around 0.4 db/100'. Even the loss of the smaller RG6 is negligible (0.7 db/100'). I use Commscope Rg6 ($80 for 1000') in my 4 sq o

Carol, Your first question was not clear - is it RG-11 style or hardline coax that you have? If it's RG-11 braided cable you should take the suggestions and replace the F connectors with PL-259's. If
