good working product for the price

well assembled for the price and I didn't have any assembly kit. When and how baluns should be used is debatable and depends on many factors, but providing a DC ground helps with noise and close-up lighting. At the moment I get a good SWR at 80 and 40 with subsequent tests on long wires.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • easy repairability

I don't think it's a 1:9 balun

I read all the reviews and can work around the negatives with pliers and bought it anyway. I don't want to mess up the production and I'm not an electronics genius, but if I understand correctly: a 1:9 balun should have 9 three-turn turns around the toroid. Mine was only 6. However, this improved my SWR reading a bit.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Only available in white

Works as I said NO: Antennas

I had a good SWR on all bands with the tuner but when I tried to unplug the cable the connector also twisted and damaged the connections inside as the quality control of this product turned out to be lacking in everything needed to wear was lost, it should never have left the factory. I would say if you buy it take your time and tighten everything before using it.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Difficult to say

Losing the lock nut on the plug 239

I was very happy with this device. The small size and light weight make it ideal for hiking. However, both the original and the replacement arrived with the lock nut on the 239 connector loose enough to allow the wires inside to cross when connecting the cables. The bottom bends over the lock nut making it impossible to tighten without first removing the solder. Normally I would just fix it, but this time I decided against it. There was no way to verify it. Damn.

Pros
  • One year trial period
Cons
  • Functionality

I have nothing to say.

I received this product with high expectations as suggested by the seller. As a radio amateur, I have considered using this balun as part of my portable QRP radio station. The materials are really very poor quality. As with the balun, even with an antenna tuner, it was almost impossible to tune it to the transmission bands. when working with 50 watts it started to smoke, almost burned out, i have 30 years of experience with all kinds of radios and repeaters. I have never seen a product of such…

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
