[TowerTalk] BN-86 Balun Question Results

[Fatchett, Mike]

Thanks to all who replied!

The overall consensus is that the BN-86 is a poor choice.  It will not
handle high SWR.  I was lucky mine worked (or did it?) as long as it
did.  I am sure the balun was the reason I did not work BS7H! :)


The majority suggest a current type balun for replacement.  Below are
the types suggested and the number of people recommending each type.

Type			#

Force 12 B-1		3	(I decided on this one)
Hy-Gain BN-4000	3
Homemade		3	(nice to see some people still homebrew)
KLM			1
Radio Works		1
Aztec RF		1

73,
