Pros

Low price, and great utility of this balun makes it a no-brainer purchase! Great low-cost compliments to my swling. This improvement also strengthens the whole assembly.

Does the job wonderfully. Works as advertised. Thanks for the great and quick service.

Balun design dot com has a link to a wire length chart you may find useful. Dipole antenna picks up hf freqs all the way down to 3.

Price

Shipping


Thanks for the great and quick service


Shipping was fast price was right and like i stated nooelec is a great company to do business with

Packaging/appearance


The packaging was excellent and the little clips hold firm enough


I wish it came in a waterproof case

Competitiveness


I was able to get similar performance with ham it up and my moderately priced sony shortwave radio


I also made a vhf antenna with this balun which performed many many times better than the tiny magmount supplied with a typical stlsdr


I didnt measure it but did compare receive signal strength as quickly as i could make changes to make the comparison


While the differences are small in my example other wire lengths at other frequencies can make a huge difference

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Im thinking of shortening the long wire though to get it further away from the attachment points


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I dont know if thats the problem but im amplifying noise right along with the signal when i use the long wire


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It could be that im in such a noisy environment it wont help


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If i level the longwire by attaching a pole to the wall maybe that will be helpful too


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    But this baluncoax combo is nearly as noisy


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I was hoping the coax would cut down on the noise more than it does
