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.
DBLSPCL (without BUX UNUN (ONION)
 When
the stations with the gain and power in their antennas are transmitting in
the horizontal plane, then you should be meeting them in the same plane.
Horizontal signals tend to follow the earths contour, and are easier to
capture using a horizontally polarized antenna.
See the BUX UNUN elsewhere on this page.
By combining a
pair (two) of the single band HF Mobile (loaded) tuneable-tip antennas
above, you can have an ideal, single element, horizontal dipole (beam).
This type antenna opens the world of HF communications for the
apartment dweller, RV HAM, field-day operating, and a variety of other
uses and applications. The packages described below include two

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 transmitter 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 impedance
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.

BUX UN UN De-Coupling transformer, has SO-239 (female) input
connector and output connector is 1 ft Mini 8 cable with PL-259 (male).
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).

With an increase in local noise sources and
the increasing attractiveness of long wire and dipole antennas, coax cable
has become the antenna feed line of choice for most radio users and
operators. 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

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.
At BUX COMM, *We don't cut
corners! The components used in the manufacture of our BALUNs are from
top quality components, beginning with the Silver Plated SO239 connectors
and center insulator made of teflon™(E.I Dupont),
and the center pin is hard-drawn brass, with gold flash. The wire we wind
the ferrite donut with, is heavy-duty, silver flashed wire, with teflon™
insulation, which will handle RF voltages above 5000 volts, and
temperatures above 2000 degrees. The binding posts are heavy-duty,
tempered brass, with end holes and side-thru holes to accommodate either
type loop-thru connection. A double-shoulder brass capture nut is
used to add a secure bite and improve electrical connections to the wire
.
In addition, these Antenna connection points are
clearly identified with "RED" and "BLACK" rings to denote the "hot" and
"cold" terminals... just in case you want to favor the highest or longest
side of your antenna.
