Junk!

This Balun was up for only 4 days. The SWR was flat at resonance and when I applied full power from a TL-922A (about 1350 watts output) to it I saw the SWR creep upwards after only 15-20 or so. The receive signal went away so something died. I moved the coax to another port on the remote coax but same problem. Re-installed the non-balun type center insulator and the antenna is back in business. I opened up the balun to find only small 16ga enameled wire is used and no ferrite rod or beads. Only a thin wall PVC tube to form the 1 inch coil. Even the wires from the coil to the posts are from zip cord. I looked closely and found a burn spot and it had shorted out. Pure Junk!!!! The only part of the balun I was impressed with are the posts that really hold the antenna wire very well. Stay away! What we can't see can hurt us.

I like the NO soldering!

Works great. Well built. I bent my antenna wire in a u-shape and lightly tinned it with solder. I placed the ends in the brass holder and on the air I went. Fast shipping and paypal is fine for payment.
