Description
This is a unique design by Dr. Jerry Sevick (W2FMI) that combines a 25 ohm balun with a 1:2 unun for final transformation to 50 ohms. Used anywhere there is a need to transform 25 ohms balanced to 50 ohms unbalanced. We have eliminated a common failure point of this design by inserting one of the unun windings in Teflon tubing. Consequently this is an enhanced version of the balun used for the popular SteppIR yagis. IMPORTANT NOTE - This balun is a complex custom wind which requires hand made low impedance, high power coax. As such this balun is not eligible for exchange or refund except for defect in materials or workmanship.
This model is also available without an enclosure for use as a replacement for a damaged SteppIR balun. Select model 1213x from above.
