Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft T1 Miniature ATU / BL2

I have frequently used the T1 with a balanced antenna (open wire feed line, etc.) simply by connecting one side to the feed line to the "hot" center pin and the other to the shield or ground terminal on the T1. Yes, a slight amount of "unbalance" may be introduced, but usually much less than the

W9CF and K9YC websites are recommended reading. I found K9YC's cookbook for common mode chokes invaluable. Jim ab3cv On Sun, Nov 6, 2011 at 8:59 PM, Randall wrote: > > I'm assuming when using the Elecraft T1 Miniature ATU with a wire antenna, > dipole or long wire, the BL2, 1:1 & 4:1 (switched)

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft T1 Miniature ATU / BL2

Hi Randall, You can connect a random wire antenna directly to the T1 (then toss it into a tree, etc.) without a feedline. But you'll need to add a ground counterpoise wire, too; use at least one wire cut to 1/4 wavelength on the lowest band in use. If you want to run a balanced feedline to

[Elecraft] Elecraft T1 Miniature ATU / BL2

I'm assuming when using the Elecraft T1 Miniature ATU with a wire antenna, dipole or long wire, the BL2, 1:1 & 4:1 (switched) Balun, is required. Is this correct ? thanks __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/li
