Can you describe the balun you used?


When one feeds the antenna system at a current maximum
point, the balun is non-critical. I am presently using
ten turns of RG-400 on an FT-240-61 toroid with no
measurable common mode current on an MFJ-853. As you
know, the stress on the balun is reduced when the
resonant current maximum point is located at the
output of the balun-choke. That's another bonus for
the matching system that I use.

Hi Cecil,

I guess what I meant to ask was, how do you interface ladder line with
your IC756 output connector?

Thanks,

I've got an SG-500 between the IC756 and the antenna.
Coax out of the SG-500 goes to a 1:1 balun-choke and
then to the ladder-line.
