[TenTec] Baluns

[Jim WA9YSD]

Voltage balun or Current balun.  With out any fancy clamp on RF current meters and the sort, what are some simple things can the average ham can do to determine if a Current balun or a Voltage balun is needed when working on different types of wire antennas fed with eather coax or open line?

Proper way of doing things is to use a voltage balun at the feed point of the antenna followed by a current balun, right?  Now there is a beast called a Hybrid balun that take the place of the combo.  Who sells this Hybrid?  Is this the best way to go?  Why?

 Keep The Faith, Jim K9TF/WA9YSD
