I am happily using a doublett-antenna that I feed with a 600 Ohm
ladder-feedline.
When I came to decide, what kind of tuner to use, I could not find
anybody to give me an answer to my questions that would satisfy me:
- use a balanced tuner, like the MFJ 974 H (which I finally purchased)
- or use a standard-unbalanced tuner with a toroid-balun between the
tuner and the feedline.
In fact, the balanced tuner has a balun at it´s front end, looking
towards the transmitter. Other tuners have the balun at their backdoor,
looking towards the feedline.
What is now the advantage/disadvantage of which concept? Can anybody
explain that to me?
Yes, I am happy with my MFJ, but being an Elecraft-maniac in the
meantime, I would like to have the autotuner, which would need the extra
balun.
Thanks to everybody undertaking the effort to answer me.
