wrote: Hi, Any recommendations on a good, or bad, tuner for use with balanced antennas? That is, one which does not use a balun? It doesn't need to be an auto-tuner. There are a few from small suppliers, and I see the MFJ in their latest catalog has what is touted as a modernized Johnson Matchbox. I'm having good luck using an unbalanced tuner, an mfj989c, with an external choke balun (a few turns of coiled coax), to transition to a dipole fed with 450 ohm line. I can tune my 44-ft. dipole on all bands, 30 thru 10. As far as balanced tuners go, Palstar and Bliss make real expensive ones, in addition to the mjf model you just mentioned. Don't know of any others currently being marketed. Bob k5qwg |
