I have two of the Balun Designs 1115DU's. Have recommended to many local HAM's having issues - with great success for all.
I have one on my OCF and one on my 6M loop. Both eliminated the remaining stray RF I was suffering from after the placement of the ugly balun at the antenna. -- Richard A Clafton | the brITish guy | W5\G7EIX RIROC - Hosting - Development - Technology http://www.riroc.com | rclaf...@riroc.com "Jack of all trades, master of none, though often better than the master of one." -----Original Message----- From: FlexRadio [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of Robert Costa Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2012 10:46 AM To: Flex Radio List; Flexedge Subject: [Flexradio] Product Decision All, As many of you have read and are probably tired of hearing, I am chasing down my RF ingress issues into my Flex 5000a, which seem to be even acting up on 40 meters and above now. As part of my potential solution, I will be purchasing a isolation choke. I had decided on a product, when a friend of mine pointed to another product that is almost 1/3 the cost. Now I do believe in the old adage that you get what you pay for. I was on the phone with Bob from Balun Designs. He suggested a dual core 1115DU. The cost is $79.00 plus shipping. The item has great characteristics as far as SWR, line loss and choking impedance from 160-10 meters. My friend in a QSO last night suggested the MFJ-915. This item is only 29.99. It consists of a bunch of ferrite beads. As it is MFJ, I do not expect them to publish any specifications or sweeps from a spectrum analyzer. Hs anyone dealt with either one of these products or both? Can you give me your honest opinion on the performance versus cost analysis?
