Sorry, my previous message was placed in the wrong thread.
I can add that 4:1 and 9:1 fixed-ratio baluns should be used only between known, well-defined, relatively narrow impedance ranges. They are best NOT used on the transmission line side of tuners. Otherwise the tuner is forced into dealing with reactances in the balun itself. This restricts the range of antenna impedances which can be handled by the tuner. Fixed-ratio baluns, with their excellent frequency response, are ideal on the transmitter side of tuners, i.e., between precisely known impedances. However they are seldom needed in that unusual position if the required impedance transformation takes place in the tuner itself. As it always is with a standard type of tuner and a 50-ohm transmitter. ---- Reg, G4FGQ |
