- Hello & Happy Holidays to All! I would be interested to know what the procedure would be to perform a test on a balanced to un-balanced transformer (balun) like the Unadilla W2AU to determine It's va

- Hook the 259b to the coax/unbalanced side, and hook a 50 ohm non-inductive resistor across the balanced terminals. Read the impedance on the 259b and that will tell you the transformation... if it re

- Well, if it reads open or shorted then its probably bad. If the blue smoke came out its probably bad also. If you punched a hole in the insulation or partially melted it down so that it is weakened b

- I have seen baluns with shattered ferrite cores. If you shake them they rattle. I am pretty sure that W8JI has balun testing info on his web site. 73, Dan, N5AR Well, if it reads open or shorted then

- It's not like it's the most expensive piece of equipment you have for your hobby. When in doubt, just buy a new one. I probably have a half dozen laying around in my shed here collect over the years.

- I understand that this tells the balun ratio, but does it also indicate that it is working properly? Other than tearing a balun apart, I've wondered how to tell whether I'd killed one with high volta

- http://audiosystemsgroup.com/RFI-Ham.pdf includes an extensive tutorial on common mode chokes, widely known as "current baluns." I believe that the W2AU balun is a transformer (voltage) balun. The tu
