Review on πŸ“» LJJDSLYU HAM HF Band1-30Mhz Shortwave Radio Balun Unun DIY Kit: Excellent Performance with NXO-100 Magnetic Balance by Bernard Her

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not as great as it seems.

This kit allows you to assemble a balun. Absolutely. You can build a three voltage type balun in the guide you will eventually get. You can also throw away these instructions and wrap around a balun with 1:1 current as I did. But don't get too excited. The box is really small. It's really hard to put things in place. Installing SO-239 is hardly enough. The enamel on the wire is very difficult to remove, so the wire can be soldered. But that could be forgiven if the supplied soldering lugs weren't so inferior that they didn't stick to them. I tried and tried and tried again to get a good flow. But it just doesn't happen. Luckily I bought two sets expecting to only get one balun out of them.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Incredible piggy bank

Parts look well made, but no instructions of any kind are included.
