Heat means LOST POWER. Virtually all baluns like the BL2 use Fair-Rite #61 (or something quite similar). Download http://audiosystemsgroup.com/RFI-Ham.pdf and study Fig 6, the loss characteristics of Fair-Rite #61. The loss begins to rise above 10 MHz, and it isn't pretty above about 20 MHz. 73, Jim Brown K9YC _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
