[Antennas] Line Isolators and Baluns

Mon, 22 Sep 2003 06:57:45 -0400

Demetre,

You might try the Radio Works web page at http://www.radioworks.com where
Jim, W4THU, has presented some excellent information about Line Isolators.
In some installations, multiple line isolators may be needed to solve tough
problems.
