I have the BL2 Balun and use it for balanced lines to Coax. Occasionally, when I am using a wire and counterpoise to the BNC binding posts, I try to match a shorter wire for 80 meters than what I really should due to lack of space in RV sites. I believe I am connecting the Balun correctly; hooking the long wire to A and the counterpoise to B on the Balun inputs. I can get a shorter wire to tune that way.
My question is: what is the purpose of the GND connection on the Balun? Does it need to be grounded when in use? Looking at the circuit diagram in the manual, I don't think the counterpoise should be attached to the ground connection? I'd be interested in how others hook up their BL2 Baluns. Thanks and 73's, Terry de N7TB ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
