Ralph,

I used a BN86 with a Mosley TA33JR for about 25 years. A couple of years ago
I got a new Hygain TH3MK4. At that time I replaced the balun with a generic
1:1 current balun. Either one will work just fine, although Hygain does not
recommend the BN86 for high power use. What they do recommend costs an arm
and a leg. The BN86 should be OK for anything less than 1KW.If you do buy a
new balun, make sure it is meant to be used with a beam; that means it comes
with a boom mounting bracket.

Have fun with the TH3. Great antenna.
