Geoff's products are renowned for their build quality and durability, not to mention their performance. The 4:1 balun is no exception.
I stuck Geoff's 4:1 on the corner of a long wire recycled into a delta loop one wet morning. What a performer! A serious low-angle radiation DX chaser at no more than 6m above ground for £45 (balun) and maybe £10 for the wire!
More baluns will soon be on order! Check out Geoff's forensic examination of commercial baluns to see the alarming contents of non- G-Whip products!

Excellent quality and price

I have known Geoff for some time, and all of his products are absolutely first rate quality, will withstand all sorts of abuse and will work as they are intended to.
This is not surprising, as many GWhip products are based on tried and tested commercial designs, which have been sold in large numbers to various governments all around the world.
GWhip Baluns and Ununs are unique in that they utilise special mix ferrite materials, which outperform many other types available to amateur constructors (and small scale manufacturers). PTFE covered wire and high grade materials are used throughout. In order to ensure consistent performance over many years of use.
This can be verified from photographs showing detail of the construction, and in some cases individual measured performance plots, which are shown on the Gwhip website.

I just don’t understand why folks continue to buy cheap Baluns and Ununs wound on Iron powder (or similar) core materials that simply do not work properly.
It would be hard to make your own version for the same price - Highly recommended

I bought the 4:1 balun to convert ladder line to coax. This one was one of the ex display models and has a clear perspex lid - showing incredible attention to detail & quality.
Highly recommended

Engineering at it's best

This product is built to military standards and I reckon would withstand a nuclear bomb. Puts other products at this price to shame. Comes complete with an individual frequency sweep and all the accessories to bond balanced to ubalanced together and fix it in a secure way.
Ordered Saturday and delivered Monday. If only other Ham accessories were made this way! Check out the web site.
Engineering at it's best!
