Cut your antenna to the frequency or band of choice. Listen with the
balun in, then listen without it. I'll bet you won't be able to tell
a difference. In fact, there will even be a little loss in the
balun. The point I'm trying to make is, Cut your antenna to the
frequency you want for best performance and you won't need to waste
money and time building baluns.


I have done this and the Balun make a large difference in signal level
at the radio. There are many reasons for the improvement that a Balun
makes. Why would you think that it would not?
