yep..
That's why I wonder about the popularity of these 9-to-1 baluns.
generally a waste of money I think... Some bands they might
help, some might hurt... The reason I think it's a waste of time
is rarely are they actually needed to improve the s/n ratio.
Hardly a waste of money, they actually DO work.
Been using them here for a good number of years.
I put one together last year, and yes, I agree with
Ace. Of course, sealing the darn thing properly
to prevent leakage into the case is important too.
Had to go back a couple of times to reseal it to
make sure it works, but they actually do work.
