A HAM friend of mine gave me a balun nine to ten years ago. I just

giving me that particular balun in thinking that I would get my ticket

I'm thinking it is a 4:1
Any help please. :-)

Hello Gregg,

Can you see the turns? If so, can you make a link to a picture and/or
figure out how the windings are connected. There are many
arrangements, so it is difficult to give you advise without knowing
what you have.

When you have access to some measurement equipment, you could measure
it. You can use the voltage transformation ratio or use a source with
VSWR indicator and adjust the load to lowest reading.

You might search on "balun" with "guanella" this will show many useful
links that will help you to do the determination based on visual
inspection.

Best regards,
