Purchased 2 of these both burn out at relatively low power Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
I purchased two of these, they worked great at 100w. The rating was 1500w so thought nothing of buying a new linear amp. Ran 550W into my A3WS and that balun burn out, I thought it must just be a bad one but made sure i kept it under 500W on my A4S, you guessed right the second one burn out. So having no beams for a few weeks decided to climb the tower and put a 8 turn coax choke on the A4S just to get on the air again, it works great, but my A3WS is at the top of my mast and I need equipment (man lift) to get up there and with snow still on the ground it's been a long wait. A very costly mistake, if you are running ANY bit of power these are not for you, just coil up some Rg213 and save yourself a lot of problems.

Works great! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Had an RFI problem with my Mosley Ta-32 mini yagi and after installing this little balun, no more RFI. Cheap and easy to install on the boom. Highly recommended and I sometimes run 500-600 watts but that's about it. We'll see how it holds up over the long haul.
