Common choke filter and Balun Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Due to a RFI problem with a solar power inverter I started looking around for decent ferriet material and I came across the ON7FU site.
In the meantime I have several of his line isolators and baluns in use, and I can only confirm what is told in the other reviews.
Real high quality build filters and baluns !( and each one supplied with an individual accurate test-report)
On top of that Hugo also got me technical advice, tips and information in order to solve the inverter problem.
Ever tried to get this in a common " Hamshop" ?
If you take into account all this, for me the ON7FU shop is the best place to get your filters and baluns.

Baluns ON7FU Quality Product. Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Hi,
I just want to share my experiences with the baluns I bought from ON7FU.
As we all do everybody is comparing prices from all the suppliers on the market, and in this case for sure I can tell you less is not better. In the past I also used baluns from other suppliers and after a few months there are mostly always the same problems (water, burned etc) or even worse the specs are not correct.
So I'm glad to pay a few Euros more and getting the assurance that the quality is outstanding, the specifications are in place and that this balun will survive all the circumstances related to the hobby.
The bitterness of poor quality remains long after low pricing is forgotten...
Kr,
Francis

ON7FU - BALUNS Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
Hi Hugo ON7FU,

All ordered high power baluns recieved with the necessary measurement reports. Issue of construction: robust and waterproof boxes, stainless steel eye bolts and nuts, the best quality requested by me (N) connectors.

The transportation is best fine in a quality box and on the agreed date received. Thank you for sending the link via email so I could follow my package. What a superb service!!

Compared to other baluns in terms of construction, price, service, ect ... I recommended definitely ON7FU baluns.

It may certainly be said, great and fine job Hugo!!!

9/1 antenna impedance transformers Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Every year during the winter period I've a lot of fun on Low band because of the performance of my beverages. Low band DX is only possible when you can hear the DX and that's what these 9/1 antenna impedance transformers from ON7FU are doing.
The technical quality and performance of the product is super aswell Hugo's service & response on all related questions.
After 5 years of use of its products , I still have no complaints about it.

Very high quality products Time Owned: more than 12 months.
The last 15 years, I have been using several ON7FU baluns for my transmitting antennas and 9:1 transformers for my beverage antennas. They all performed and still perform perfectly. The least which can be said about those items is that all characteristics given at the ON7FU baluns website are correct and true. Personally I appreciate the stainless steel connectors. Some advice (and also a remark), referring to an early comment in this list: if you start opening a product you must realize 1) you will loose all warranty and 2) you should not forget the time spent to develop a product (choice of materials, performed measurements before releasing a product, etc.). Personally, I do not mind to pay a (maybe) higher price for a (for sure) very reliable product. I have never heard of any defective ON7FU product and I know a lot of very satisfied users. Furthermore, if, and I repeat if, a product should really have a problem, ON7FU will surely be glad to replace it. 73, Ghis-ON5NT

excellent Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I purchased 5 current-baluns for wire-antennas for myself and the club + 3 current baluns for hf beams. Also a lot of ferrit tubes for rf-chokes and a number of FT240 for K9AY and beverages. Only one thing: the best you can get on the market for this price considering they will last for ever.

Great on DX-Expedition Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
We used 5 baluns during our december 2010 expedition in D.R.C Kinshasa.
30/40/80/160/and HF hex-beam 20/17/15/12/10/6 meter band. Al performed very well.
They are perfect for dx-expeditions because, heavy duty case, high power use on verticals and most important on dx expedition : build very firmly and reliable.
We had no problem at all with this Baluns and made 31.000 qso's in 10 days, worked all continents.

SUPER For my verticals and HEX beam Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
I have 4 baluns from on7fu and all working perfect.
Low VSWR on my 80,40 and 30 meter verticals, with +- 45 ground radials. They can handle 1,2Kw with NO problem.
Also, i use one of the baluns for my G3TXQ Hexbeam From MW0JZE(20/17/15/12/10/6m band. I use this antenna for my DX-expeditions to 9Q and FJ.
SWR is perfect on the HEX beam, and works all perfect, also with high power.
