- My receive antenna is 75 Ohm RG6 connected to my radio and I want to wind a 2873000202 binocular core to step 75 to 50 Ohm's . I seen this info on W8JI web page but can't seem to find it again. I do

- Yes Ed, You have the right numbers. It won't matter which windings are first or last. You can even wind 4 then wind 1 more and use it as an autotransformer where the 1 turn is added to the 4 for 5. A

- One thing that W8JI clarified for me in winding binocular cores is what is a "turn". Normally, a wire thru a toroid hole is a "turn". A binocular core is two toroids in a single piece of ferrite. Tom

- I suppose I need to ask if worrying about impedance at this point in the system is really worth the trouble. Once signals have gone through one or two stages of amplification - would a loss of a db o

- To Tree's point: have the Hi-Z Triangular Array and use it with the 75/50 transformer. After using it for a year or so, and just for curiosity sake I pulled out the transformer and hooked the 75 ohm

- Hi Grant, Regarding your comment about the isolation transformer properties of a transformer wound on a binocular core (or on a toroidal core), their common mode choking performance is very inferior

- Actually there is a reason or two to match the feedline impedances when using these active antennas. There are amplifiers in most of these systems that rely on their matched impedances to produce the

- Unless the coax is acting as a delay line, in which case the phase shift is only as predicted when the line is properly terminated, the mismatch is trivial. The radio probably isn't a good match anyw

- Thanks all for your wisdom . Some say not needed and some say to use the 75 / 50 transformer . I figure it's easy enuf to do . So now I'll try it and see for my self . Thanks again, Ed N5DG I do reme

- One easy thing you can do to test your transformer is to put a 75 ohm resistor on the proper side - and then use an SWR meter to measure the impedance on the 50 ohm side. I like to also see how high
