How do i make a 9 to 1 balun out of a 3/8 ferrite rod (Receiving only)


Take 3 pcs of wire, put little temporary tags on them to identify the ends,
wind them together on the core. Then wire them in series. Call one end
ground and the other end hot. Your high impedance terminals are the hot to
ground and your low Z terminals are one winding up from ground, and ground.
In other words your low Z is one winding and your high Z is all three
windings.

Thank you
No problem to make it now. By the way John i didn't know about it. One
of these day my pc will post by itself and will be answered by another
pc or what!!!!
Thank you Rick too and Merry Christmas

It might work better if you twist the three wires together first.

Made one up tonight and hooked it up to my Halicrafter rx. I never knew how
much I was missing on this radio.
