Review on 📻 Affordable Balun One Nine v2: Compact 9:1 (1:9) Enclosed Balun with Input Protection for Improved HF & Shortwave Reception. Ideal for Software Defined Radio (RTL-SDR & SDRPlay), Ham It Up, and Compatible Radios. by Juan Lukas

I used this balancing balun as a stand for my random length long wire antenna (I researched 119ft) and my Eton Elite 750 shortwave receiver. . I've compared it to a telescopic antenna on several bands and the long wire antenna through the Balun One Nine V2 gave excellent reception every time. FM reception was also better. I have been warned that if you are a radio amateur and are considering it for that purpose it is for receive only and the Balun One Nine V2 CANNOT be used for transmit. I'm very satisfied and glad I didn't choose one of the many balun sets available online. I just hooked it up to my antenna wire, ground wire and coax cable on the other side and I was on my way. I used the IP65 dustproof LeMotech (5.9" x 5.9" x 2.8") ABS dustproof junction box available from Revain to mount the weatherproof balun. Look for any questions about this product to find a good description of which tip is grounded, again this works very well.
