Hi all,
newbie question here...sorry if its covered elsewhere. My radio has a
clip terminal for an ext. antenna, and wants to see 500 ohms. I want to
put a transformer at the longwire for the coax feeder to show it 50 ohms
for the trip into the house...

How do you know the impedance of your longwire is 500 ohms?
If it is unterminated at the end, the impedance is definitely
not 500 ohms, except by complete accident.
