- Does anyone have a drawing on how to wind a 1500w 1:2 UNUN? And what type of core is needed? This is for my 160m vertical which is about 28 ohms. Regards , Kenny K2KW _________________ Searchable Arc

- Kenny, I used three large torroid cores, 12AWG silver/teflon wire, and 10 turns/14 turns to match 25 ohms to 50 ohms. There is a picture of the transformer in my Phasing Switch Box at: https://www.n

- Thanks Frank. Are these 1/4 wl lines? And are T-connectors OK? Regards , Kenny K2KW _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector

- Hi Kenny, A very workable alternative is to use two lengths of 75 ohm coax in parallel. RG-11 is the best choice, but two lengths of RG-6 will also work. No need to coil it up, simply use it as part

- Kenny - Yes, 1/4 wavelength electrical length. 89 feet of RG-11 (not the foam dielectric version used for CATV) UHF T connectors are fine, if you need any I'll give them to you. 73 Frank W3LPL Thanks

- 1/4 wavelength of 75 / 2 = 37.5 Ohms Will take your 28 ohms very close to 50. _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector

- Maybe this will help: I use a 1:2.25 Unun (3 to 2 turns ratio). It will match 22.2 ohms to 50 ohms. It is wound on a single 2.4 inch diameter core of 77 material. A pair of RG-58 coax cables are woun

- I match my 26 ohm feed point with a simple L network. One series coil then a shunt capacitor. Steps up to 50 ohms perfectly. 73 Tim K3LR Maybe this will help: I use a 1:2.25 Unun (3 to 2 turns ratio)
