All I can say is WOW! What a great investment. The best components and workmanship are here. If you're in the market for balun/choke related items, do yourself a big favor and get a Balun Designs. You won't be dissapointed. I'm using the 1115ud and it has made a world of difference in RF and noise reduction.

Excellent Workmanship

Great performance with my 3-el Yagi. Before installation I opened the unit to discover excellent workmanship in wiring/assembly. Fast delivery to Sweden and good after sale support when I had some questions on best practice installation.

You Can Hear the Difference

I bought this to match a 60 meter vertical wire antenna. I got it with lugs on the top, so the antenna wire connects to one lug and the ground the other. The unit is mounted on a tomato stake and the antenna wire is held up by a cooperative tree branch. Works very well on 60 meters and with 43 feet of wire, I'm able to tune up 80 through 10 meters (except 30 meters) with the internal antenna tuner. I could hear the difference between no-balun and with the balun. Shipping is very fast and after-sale technical support is superb. Bob answers all e-mails personally and quickly. You won't be sorry about getting one of these for your antenna.

What a Difference

I decided to purchase this balun after reading other reviews and corresponding with Bob several times. I had questions and called Bob twice and right away on the phone no press 1,2 ,3, ect… got him live right away. He answered my questions recommended this Balun, Bob had the balun to me in 2 days.
When it arrived I opened the weatherproof box and was highly delighted to see the high quality material, yep, even Silver SO-239, no cheep stuff in here at all just all high quality materials.
Now for the Meat, this Balun eliminated electrical noise, highly improved reception on my home built Dipole which is up in my Attic due to HOA rules where I live.
I will only by Baluns from Bob, DON’T BY CHEEP you’ll end up paying twice. Give Bob a call first and tell him what you need a Balun for and he will recommend the right one. As you can tell I am VERY HAPPY

An excellent balun
|
Time owned: 3 to 6 months
|
After using three of Bob's baluns, I am very satisfied with the results. The primary reason for purchasing Bob's balun over his competition is that I know the design and materials used in the product. If I cannot determine what's happening inside the box, I won't use it. Manufacturers of similar products "pot" the core in an attempt to keep others from duplicating their work.
Each balun is carefully assembled and inserted into a weatherproof and gasketed NEMA enclosure. My most recent balun was customized for use on the input to my AG6K balanced ATU. I provided Bob with cable specifications and a few days later, the balun arrived, ready to be placed into service.
A solid 5.

First off please disregard my previous review below, This balun is truly indestructible.I had a al-1500 amp on AM running 900 watts full key into this 1:1 balun for almost an hour of qso on 75 meters with my 450 ohm fed dipole, the balun is mounted outside my window frame,After this brutal wattage pumping into this balun i could not feel any heat what so ever.My amp was huffing but not this balun, Im impressed.This balun will most probably be passed down to my son one day.great work, great product and it's made in the states.

Pleasant and effective experience
|

The installation of a 1115u balun to isolate a long vertical feedline, about 115 ft, reduced considerably both the SWR and noise level at my station. The whole process from choosing the right balun to receiving it in Colombia was pleasant and fast, due to the excellent service provided by Bob.

I bought a couple of these from Bob. One for my tri-band beam and the 2nd one for use with a 30 meter antenna. I have to reflect the same feelings as other folks about his service both in the ordering process as well as cust. support. I've not had any issue with either item but have exchanged emails with Bob a couple of times. He built them as i asked and they work as they should. He's my choice for future purchases of baluns. Great to see a product built to work as it should and a reputable person (ham) to deal with. Three cheers!
