Doesn't the impedance conversion degrade as the balun is used away from it's designed impedance. If I recall the BL1 was designed for a 200 ohm load. Will it still do a 4:1 conversion if the load is 1000 or 2000 ohms? -- Darrell Bellerive Amateur Radio Stations VA7TO and VE7CLA Grand Forks, British Columbia, Canada _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
