[bars] Cobra Ultralite Balun

[Jason Sanroma]

Once it enters the house it goes into a crawl space (cubby hole) and then through the wall into my shack. It goes through a balun but I am not sure the specs of it and I believe it is not suited for this use, but I needed one to use the LDG auto tuner. I will provide some pictures to show what I am talking about.

The pictures show: The balun front and back, I am not sure the type of balun it is. Then, the crawl space where it comes in and then the window line going through the wall after that it shows it coming out of the wall. There are a few other wires that are labeled such as the coax for the Super big stick for 10m, my Diamond X-50A (2m/440) and ethernet. I am not sure if the other lines can affect the VSWR.

73,
