I recently picked up a very nice Drake TR-7 station at an estate sale. One of
the items is an MN-2700 KW Antenna Tuner. Unfortunately, the original owner
didn't buy the B-1000 balun for it, as he only used coax-fed antennas like
Inverted Vees, a tribander beam, etc. and never used balanced line fed or
single wire antennas.
Has anyone used another brand of balun in place of the B-1000? I would think
that any KW-rated 4:1 balun would be fine. I'm looking for a recommendation for
one that would be a good physical fit without drilling into or modifying the
original case.
I know the original Drake B-1000 baluns sometimes appear on epay, etc., but
they usually want a premium price for one - much more than an equivalent one
from manufacturers who have them available today, and sometimes even for more
money than the tuner itself.
