Is there a means of testing a 9:1 0r 10:1 balun to make sure
it is the proper impeadance? |

The best bet is to have the proper toroid, wind it according to the formula and you shouldn't have any problem. http://members.aol.com/DXerCapeCod/z_transformers.pdf http://www.dxing.info/equipment/impe...ing_bryant.pdf dxAce |

Perhaps you could borrow one of the MFJ antenna analyzers from a ham friend- terminate the balun in a 450 Ohm (9:1) or 510 Ohm (10:1) resistor and tune across HF bands - you should see a low VSWR. Note that toroidal transformers have quite a narrow bandwidth over which they are actually 9:1. Binocular cores will increase this BW over 10X. -- Dale W4OP for PAR Electronics, Inc. |
