Just to elaborate that is at the shack transition end , not at the feedpoint. At the feedpoint there is nothing un that needs to be bal, so no need for a balun.
1:1 current balun has proven more efficient in conjunction with the appropriate balanced (matchbox style)tuner. -----Original Message----- From: <http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft> elecraft-bounces at mailman.qth.net [mailto: <http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft> elecraft-bounces at mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Robert G.

Jim... Is there anything to be gained in putting a 1:1 "balanced isolator" at the feed point of an antenna that is fed by a "parallel wire" feed line? Does such an arrangement achieve feed line isolation while preserving the ability of such an antenna to be driven on various bands other than its resonant frequency? Thanks for your input. ...robert ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
