Hi guys - What is your preferred way to solder an open wire feeder on say RG8 or RG213 ? I know some cut the brand down the middle, solder it at the base and work their way to the tip. Some twist it

I use a balun for this. PL-259/SO-239 connection for the coax, loop terminals for the balanced line. Strong, weatherproof, easy.... WB2WIK/6 Hi guys - What is your preferred way to solder an open wir

A balun is the preferred way to go here, I agree with Steve. If you don't have one, they are pretty easily made. Jeff/KD4RBG _______________________________________________ __________________________

Here's a good point of departure. It's got a chart of the different toroids you want for different power levels, and a really good diagram of the windings required. http://www.pd7bz.com/radioprogs/ma

To answer the original question about lead dress on the coax: "Something new" (to you) is to use tweezers to displace the braid near the "base" (ie away from the end) such that a hole is formed in th

Rick has the answer. Fishing the center conductor through the opening in the shield is easier if you provide a few inches of extra length and push the shield up the coax so it increases diameter a bi

I have followed the mfg instructions to the letter for almost 50 years as a ham and 31 in broadcast tv and radio. Very few problems with solder or crimp connectors. When I did have a problem, it was

Pete, the problem is there are no instructions for connecting coax to open wire.We were talking about fishing the center conductor through the braid to do the job. No connector involved at all in thi

If only there were a device for connecting a BALanced device to an UNbalanced device. We could use such a device for this problem. Pete K4OM -- Original Message -- From: TexasRF@aol.com To: pstark@su

This was my position, as well. You can do all sorts of things that will sort of work, or you can follow generally accepted engineering practices. As far as I know, and as I understand the original qu

I don't agree at all that this is a useful reference. First, it does NOT specify the ferrite material type or dimensions, which the is most important specification. Assuming that the "open wire line"

There is - you can use a dipole center insulator such as the Budwig RF-1. 73, Pete N4ZR New Articles Daily - the Contesting Compendium at http://wiki.contesting.com The World Contest Station Database
