That's why I wonder about the popularity of these 9-to-1 baluns. generally a waste of money I think... Some bands they might help, some might hurt... The reason I think it's a waste of time is rarely are they actually needed to improve the s/n ratio. Hardly a waste of money, they actually DO work. Been using them here for a good number of years. I put one together last year, and yes, I agree with Ace. Of course, sealing the darn thing properly to prevent leakage into the case is important too. Had to go back a couple of times to reseal it to make sure it works, but they actually do work. --Mike L. |
