There's a guy on eBay (RFJUNKIE?) who sells baluns which use F connectors.
wrote in message ups.com... I have a reciever that has 2 screw antenna connections, 300 ohm. I currently use RG-6 coax so I use a 4:1 matching tranformer at my reciever and also at the Windom antenna in the attic. I would like to setup a 90 ft random wire antenna outside using the RG-6 and feed thru a ground block to the matching transformer into my reciever. I'll need a 9:1 balun at the feed, but have not found a ready made balun that accepts the "F" type coax connector. The ICE-180 and one currrently on eBay use a SO-239 connector and I have not found connectors available to adapt to the RG-6. Does any one know of a 9:1 Balun that accepts the "f" type connector?

For One and All,
Theses may be the 'last-of-the-last' and may be . . . some of the 'best -of-the-best' of RF Junkie's Baluns for Shortwave Listeners (SWLs) designed for use with standard 50 Ohm Coax Cable PL-259 Connector. Shortwave Antenna Longwire Balun # LMZ-50 http://cgi.ebay.com/Shortwave-Antenn...mZ150069112124 http://cgi.ebay.com/_W0QQitemZ150069112124 Note - The 75 Ohm "F" Connector Baluns are now all gone. Shortwave Antenna Longwire Transformer Balun - # LMZ-75 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=150055599076 So... When they are gone - Will there be any more ? ? ? - - - Only RF Junkie Know For Sure ! http://myworld.ebay.com/rfjunkie/ iane ~ RHF |

BrianThat's too bad - he had a good product at a bargain. Must have found a more lucrative business...or got tired of making them. Often an advocation is simply not a profitable business : While the time spent may be interesting and enjoyable; it does not yield and income equal to the investment of our time, energy and resources. i wish rf junkie well in all his future endevors ~ RHF |
