[TowerTalk] Balun

[John Schaffner Jr.,- K8LN]

TT........

The balun, BN-86, on my Th7DXX has failed.  I have been told that this is
not a uncommon event.  The replacement options are many.  The Bn-4000 is
Hy-gains fix. I was wondering what other Hy-Gain owners use to replace the
BN-86.

My only concern is using another balun, will the lead lenghts on another
type balun effect the preformance of the beam?   I did see this happen in a
mono 20 meter beam, we couldn't find the best swr by adjusting the hair pin,
the fix was shorter leads and the dip .

Tnx
