When you hear those strong HF mobile signals, here's one reason they stand out from the rest. By installing the BUX MoBalun near the input to your antenna, you deliver more RF energy to the antenna. At the same time, the BUX MoBalun prevents RF from traveling back along the shield (high SWR) of your coax. High power rating, Low-permeability toroid, with Internal composition fiber-glass to prevent vibration during mobile operation. For input and output connectors, we use only the best Silver plated, Teflon insulated, SO239 connectors. 500 watts.

BUX COMM Mobile Antenna Tuning Instructions; www. BUX COMM.com Setting the SWR: Insert your VHF or UHF antenna whip into the antenna ferrule or the adjustable slip at the top of the coil. Using a good SWR meter, calibrate (set it up in the �forward power� position) it near the center of the band the antenna is designed for. Switch back to SWR and record the readings. These readings are made on three frequencies; one at the center of the band, then at the lower end of the band, and at the upper end of the band. If the lowest SWR reading occurs at the low end of the band, the antenna whip/tip is to long and must be shortened. Loosen the whip/tip set screws and lower the whip 1/4'' into the loading coil, or mast. Tighten the set screw(s) and again read SWR. Repeat until lowest SWR is obtained. If the whip is fully lowered into mast and the SWR is still high, remove the whip from mast. Using a grinder, bolt cutters, or hacksaw remove or cut � inch from the bottom part of the whip. Insert the whip back into the ferrule and again test the SWR. Repeat the above procedure until the SWR is below 1.5:1 for the frequencies covered by the antenna. If the lowest SWR reading occurs at the high end of the band, the antenna whip is to short and must be raised (lengthened). Loosen the mast set screws and raise the whip � inch, tighten set screws and test the SWR again. Repeat the above procedure until the VSWR is below 1.5 of all frequencies within the band you plan to operate. ←Ferrule, with set screw(s) How low can we go? Or how low can the SWR be set? In a �perfect world� we would get the VSWR below 1.1:1, but in a practical installation, a 1.5:1 is considered ideal. Some installations will not achieve a 1.1:1 VSWR because of conditions associated with environment or coaxial cable properties. The losses associated with a 1.5:1 (using approximately 14 feet of coax) is actually less than one-half of one percent (1/2 of 1%) of your output power, which on a normal 5 watt radio means a loss of .025 watts of power. In other words, instead of transmitting 5 watts output, you are actually transmitting only 4.975 watts. For that reason, spending the extra time to get below 1.5:1 is a matter of personal preference, particularly if you have a high gain type antenna. What happens if your SWR is 2.0:1 instead of 1.5:1 or less? Most transceivers in use today have VSWR (viswar) protection circuits that decreases power output when the VSWR goes above 2.0:1. Thus reducing the power out of the final power amplifier. So generally, anything between 1.5:1 and 2.0:1 is acceptable, and useable for solid, and reliable communications. VSWR readings of 3.0:1 or higher, usually point toward other problems in the system.

Dipole and inverted-Vee antennas are commonly "balanced" at the feed points. Coaxial feed lines are "unbalanced" by design personality (thus the name BALUN). This BALANCED, to UNBALANCE marriage can only be performed by using a BALUN. A BALUN should always be used when feeding wire antennas with coax to make certain characteristic antenna performance and optimum transfer of RF energy to the antenna complete. When coax is used to feed antennas without the benefit of a BALUN, current flows on the shield of the coaxial feed line . This coaxial shield current can produce a "Hot HAM shack," This can result in nasty R.F. injury from the microphone to lips, hand key to fingers, etc., and is often more pronounced at certain frequencies. Coax cable shield currents can also cause damage to your HAM gear. TVI, RFI, telephone and even wild VSWR indications can result from these shield currents. In 85% of antenna projects that displayed these problems, when a BALUN is added to the coaxial line or near the antenna feed point, these problems were diminished or completely eliminated.

BUX BALUNs ⁭ should be installed at the antenna feed point, or where the coax or feed-line attaches to the above ground antenna. BUX BALUNs are used to connect balanced antennas to unbalanced transmission lines, such as coax cable. Their primary purpose is to prevent antenna (RF) currents from flowing down the outside of the cable. Another function of the BUX BALUN41 is to match the impedance of an unbalanced coax to the balanced feed point of a balanced input antenna(s). BUX BALUNS may also be used as �line isolators� anywhere along the cable to prevent the destructive influence of induced RF currents (VSWR). BUX 1:1 BALUNs are current BALUNs, and are designed to operate from 1.8 to 30 MHz. They consist of several type 43 material. BUX BALUN11 operate from 160 to 10mtr MHz and allow transfer of RF power to the rated capacity of the BALUN. BUX 4:1 BALUNs are voltage BALUNs. They consist of a large "Type 43" material. *BUX BALUN41* operate from 1.8 to 30 MHz MHz and allow use of RF power to the rated capacity of the BALUN. 4:1 High Performance, Heavy Duty, 2 KW Balun (if SWR is less than 2:1)* CW/SSB duty-cycles only.

When you hear those strong HF mobile signals, here's one reason they stand out from the rest. By installing the BUX MoBalun near the input to your antenna, you deliver more RF energy to the antenna. At the same time, the BUX MoBalun prevents RF from traveling back along the shield (high SWR) of your coax. High power rating, Low-permeability toroid, with Internal composition fiber-glass to prevent vibration during mobile operation. For input and output connectors, we use only the best Silver plated, Teflon�� insulated, SO239 connectors. 500 watts. Our MoBALUN is also ideal for marine antenna installations. $19.95 MOBALUN Teflon �� E I DuPont corp.

BUX ONION is an UNbalanced to UNbalance (UN-UN) decoupling transformer designed to be used by the Apartment dweller or the RV ops. It is also used with the DBLSPCL antenna. High RF currents traveling along the coax feed-line shield can cause high VSWR. This decoupling transformer prevents RF currents from traveling down the outer shield of the coax. The input connector is an SO239 (female) and the output connector is a PL259 (male).	BUX ONION $19.95		BUX ONION $19.95
Important Information; WHY USE A 4:1 BALUN Krusty Olde Kurt is now going to repeat himself. Why? Because the same question keeps coming up over and over. And he wants everyone to get it right. "I'm feeding my dipole with 600-ohm line. At the station end I need a balun to convert to 50-ohm coax. I need a 12:1 balun, right?" *Wrong!* A 4:1 balun* would be better. Why is that?* If your dipole is up, let's say, 35 feet then on 80 meters it will probably have a resistance at resonance of about 40 ohms. The actual resistance depends on the height above ground in wavelengths. If the dipole is 40 Ohms then what do you see at the transmitter end of your 600 ohm line? If the line is a half-wave long (120 ft on 80 Meters) you'll see 40 ohms. Remember, a half-wave line repeats what it sees at the other end. But if it is a quarter-wave long you'll see 8500 Ohms! At other line lengths you'll see impedances somewhere between these two extremes. So you are not going to see 600 ohms at the end of your 600-ohm line. That only happens if you have a 600-ohm antenna hooked onto it. With such a variation in impedance at the trans�mitter end of the line there is no one balun transformer that will match it. Most of the time the impedance will be above the 50 Ohms of your coax so a high impedance balun would be desirable. Unfortunately high imped�ance baluns don't work well when not matched. Experience has shown that 4:1 baluns work best in this service. They are more rugged and will take bad mismatches especially if they are wound on an iron powder core. So stop searching for that 12:1 balun. Use a 4:l BALUN and your system will work great. You can read Kurt N. Sterba �AERIALS� column in World Radio Magazine.

Given that the impedance of most commonly available coax is either 50 or 72 ohms and since many wire antennas present an impedance of 200 to 600 ohms or more at the feed point, direct connection of the coax to wire antennas hits us with a significant signal loss due to the antenna impedance mismatch. Having realized this set of circumstances in the receiver and SWL arena, we're introducing a new approach to defeat the noise and impedance mismatch problems in our receive antennas by designing this new RxBALUN�. Our RxBALUN� bridges the impedance gap, and enables an unbalance to balanced match between the antenna and our receivers. These features provide more signal transfer from the antenna to your receiver. Our RxBALUN will accommodate the SWL and QRP Operator. In addition, this RxBALUN may be employed as an antenna balun for both transmit and receive between the antenna and low powered transceivers running up to 200 watts. For input and output connectors, we use only the best Silver plated, Teflon�� insulated, SO239 connectors. Max Power 250 watts. $14.97 RxBALUN Teflon �� E I DuPont corp.

TUNING INSTRUCTIONS: Insert the whip into lower section ferrule about four inches (as shown at right) and tighten set screw. Assemble with fiberglass lower section (as shown at left). Install a VSWR meter at the transceiver and apply 10 to 25 watts of power. Adjust the VSWR meter and output frequency for lowest VSWR reading, indicating resonance. If resonant frequency is too high, loosen set screw and extend top whip until desired resonant frequency is found. If resonant frequency is too low, loosen set screw and adjust whip further into lower section. For best results, adjustments should be made in small increments. CAUTION: If required, cut off the bottom of the whip to ensure it does not extend down into the coil of the antenna. Failure to observe this precaution will cause heat damage and void any warranty. At resonance, VSWR should be 1.5:1 or less when properly matched. When tuning is complete, tighten set screws securely. NOTE: Bandwidth and VSWR will vary due to mounting location. If your installation has a VSWR over 1.5:1 at resonance, or you need to operate over a greater bandwidth a tuner may be required.
