Thanks Ken....
I do understand the Lead Lengths from the Balun need to be the same length.
In the C3 Manual there was a recommended length for Balun leads based on the
fixed length of the driven element, and since I can not find the manual, I
was hoping there might be someone with a manual available to check for me.
After I have this info...Up it goes for the second radio position, replacing
a TH7. Will be interesting what I see as a difference.
Thanks...
Rich

Hi Rich -
The word "average" is cause for a little concern. In general, when
connecting baluns, leads from the same balun should be the same length.
That length should be the smallest practicable. That is, locate the balun
as close as practical to the element feedpoint, and leave just enough extra
length so that a terminal can be replaced if damaged, but no more.
73, Ken
