[TowerTalk] 402CD - XM240 questions

[Brian Harris]

I am putting together an XM-240.  Out of curiosity I opened the 'el cheapo' 
balun box.  Will it really keep water out?  The balun looks equally cheap with 
its three beads and three turns of coax smaller than RG-58.  What limits the 
power handling capacity of this antenna (2KW)?  Is it the balun, the loading 
coils or both.  If the balun is the weak link, I will use something more 
substantial.

TIA es 73,

Brian
