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,

Jim, AC6XG
