Hi - I've been using a radiowavz "QRP DX 40-10" 4:1 balun. It's not on their product sheet. It will handle 100w ssb, 25w cw. Its about 4" long and 1.5" in diameter. Very light. Just looks like a smaller version of their full power baluns.
I use it to feed a portable OCF dipole. I understand they sell this to TenTec for their portable multiband qrp antenna. You need to contact radiowavz directly to purchase it. I've been using it for a few months now with some extended use like the cqww-ssb and it seems to be ok. I don't know about how weather proof it is - time will tell. You can also build one - pretty easy - checkout the 4:1 balun design that was published with articles associated with this antenna: http://www.hamuniverse.com/k4iwlnewwindom.html I built several of these antennas and balun for field use. I purchased the radiowavz one for the nicer package. Terry, NS6D I'm looking for a small 4:1 QRP balun to use with my KX3 (hence, it needs > only 10 watt power capability). Can anyone direct me to a design or an > existing product? Thanks. > > Ed/K8SZN > ______________________________________________________________ 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
