[OKDXA] Balun

[kd5gho]

The 4;1 are pricey for the high watt ones.
Surpluss sales wants $600 for their baluns ouch!
For sure you will cook one doing cw or rtty if its watt rating is too low.
the only one i am useing now is a built in job that came with the tuner.
You can find information about winding your own at www.arrl.org
If you are useing a dipole a delta match will work.
are you useing balanced feed line?
If so a pi L network will work, the Johnson kw matchbox used them to prevent
insertion loss and unnecessary shack heating.
Schematics for them can be found on the boatanchor link of the ac6v site.
