Hi all,

When co-phasing two identical two meter yagis, is it necessary to use
the "power dividers" sold by the antenna manufacter? If two odd
multiples of 1/4 wavelength 75 Ohm coax is carefully constructed and
run into a T connector, won't this achieve the same thing? Is there a
real peformance difference?

Thanks,
Scott, WU2X

Hi Scott

That pair of 75 ohm transformers will work. I'd suggest that you
consider only 1/4 wavelength for the 70 ohm transformer in each line from
the 50 ohm Yagis. Additional transformer length will effect impedance
bandwidth.
I'd suggest using the "power dividers" unless $$cost is a consideration.
