[TowerTalk] TH 11 " dc coil "

[Michael Mraz]

I don't think the BN-4000 has any problems (it's a "current"
style balun, unlike the earlier BN-86 that came with the TH-7).
There are those who have run 3dB over the legal limit into
a TH-11, with absolutely no problem (except operating ethics).

I never tried the "DC coil," rain static isn't very common here
in Seattle.   73   Mike   N6MZ

Greetings,  Has anyone used the Hy Gain TH 11 with and without the dc
coil ?  It supposedly will cut down on rain static, but I wonder if
there is really any worthwhile difference. Also, any knowledgeable
opinions on the advisability of using the BN-4000 balun supplied with
the TH 11 ?  I seem to remember hearing that they were somewhat
trouble-prone. I will probably never put more than 1 kw into it, so it
may be fine. Any info would be appreciated.  73, Kent - K4IHN
