[TowerTalk] FW: FW: hygain BN-86 balun

BN-86 is a transformer and BN-4000 is a choke. Both a bad investment in my
experience.

easy

check for SHORT in the SO-239 connector or the ends of the balun

SHORT means BN-86  = junk

NO SHORT but continuity  from center to one end  and ground to the other end
is a 4000

I have acquired several Hy-Gain baluns that came along with second-hand Long
Johns.  The labels are long gone off of these.  Is there any easy way to
determine if they are BN-86 or BN-4000?

Thanks,
Matt
