Will I need a Balun
by 2W0PWR Tue Feb 26, 2008 10:23 am
Hello lads,
As I am getting a ATU The LDG AT-200 Pro and am wondering if will I need a Balun for a full size G5RV?
Sorry this might be a stupid question but it's got to be asked.
Dave
P.S. If it is a stupid question just remember that I'm an M3

Hi Dave
No don't think you will need a balun.
As the G5RV is 300 ohm ribbon then to coax i think !
I have never owned a G5RV so ask others to check on this.

Cheers for the reply Andy.
I have ordered a G5RV with a Balun built in just so I might be able to use it on other radio's if i buy one...
