It is also fixed, while a coax stub can be easily 'retuned' by simply pinning the coax. Not only that, since the antenna is (hopefully) way up in the air, the coax used for matching is either incorporated in the line or hung from the side, making any worries about extra coax "kicking around" a non-issue. You should be more worried about where you're going to put that nine square feet of ground plane. Pure rubbish... a balun would have perhaps 0.1dB insertion loss. The antenna gain is perhaps twenty times that! "LOL!" |
