Hi Mike, The 16:1 is for a specific very broad banded antenna known as a T2FD or TTFD. The shortest version being the Diamond 330s that I used for about 1 year. I used mine in the bands 160m-10m and I am informed it also works on 6m, The key to how it works is in the wire wound resister of between 800-1200 ohm.
Great job as always excellent craftsmanship very useful for a field day kit when trying to pack lighter. As always your videos are worth waiting for ,thanks for what you do.
As always, very good and neat work Mike. Enjoy your holiday, and when you get back I would love to see a video of this txfr connected to various length wires
Good videos, but room for improvement. 1) the video insert onto the wiring diagram covered part of the diagram....2) what is the power handling capabilities? 3) test results of the build. Thanks for posting!!!
Hi Mike...Thanks for all your videos...I'm learning a lot from you...just in the process of making your 80 spiral loop....Would love to see your results using this unun... especially the 4-1....Many thanks..m1bsz...
@@mike-M0MSN Thanks for the reply Mike.. appreciate it...The only items which I find hard to get are the variable cap.... Is it possible to put some sizes of the veins up so I can copy them...If not I'm sure I can figure something out...Thank you for all your time you dedicate to help others

Hi. Great video. I'm a bit into CB but mostly listen to aircraft using a SDR and old but great AR1500 scanner which was my Dads and I managed, with my basic knowledge, to fix. (Caveat ... I don't really understand what I am doing!) but had a lot of success making flower pot design antennae for listening. Can these be used to transmit on? A CB tuned one would be 5m though, but very light weight (taped to a fishing pole). I have a very old CB (27/81) mag mount which developed a fault I had to fix. I was intrigued by it's design. A whip with a coil at the base with the coax tapped off a few coils up? This seems to me a very simple design to replicate? Obviously reliant on a ground plane (a car). Question 3 ha ha. Have 3 cars, one is an old 96 Camaro ... which has ... fibre glass roof, door skins plastic, bonnet (I'm in UK) metal, hatch metal bumpers plastic. Any ideas on best design for a mobile CB antennae for a plastic car? I'm 60, and learning!
Great build, thanks for sharing! I'm not sure if this is a ridiculous question, but here goes. Would it be doable to run two or three different length antennas off of this simultaneously? Say a 41' on the 9:1, a 17.5' or 25' on the 4:1 and 11' 8.4" 5/8 wave for 6m on the 16:1? Thank you kindly
@@mike-M0MSN Hi Mike. Because thay say this is one way to match 600 ohm balanced ladar line, yet no one has done video on it. Thay use 3 balun in one to do this I think it's a 1 to 1 and two 9 to 1. But like I said no has done a video maybe it all bull dust , anyway maybe you can help thanks Mike.
*16:1 IS OF NO USE*---Someone told me that a matching transformer above 9:1 is not effective. Is that true? What is the number (AWG) of wire you have used?
Pic in Pic blocks the schematic. Schematic shows T200 core but you are using a fair rite type. 3 wires instead of four. I think its time you scrapped this video and started again. It's really unhelpful and can be confusing to some. sorry to be negative your videos are normally top notch.

Thanks for sharing this great idea ! I would love to see a video with VNA test results and some field testing with the various antennas you mentioned.

Will have to give that a go..😊
A very useful bit of kit, especially when experimenting. Thanks for making this video. 👍😃
Excellent design and implementation. I'll have to try this one.
Nice idea with the zip ties. 👍
Thanks 👍
thanks nice piece of usefull equipment ,
what about testing and the scematics ?
thank you

Perfect. I was thinking about something similar to this.
I assume that could be done with only three coils to be a 9:1 + 4:1 transformer? So without coil no. 4. In case 16:1 is not needed. 73, OH2KAJ

Great video and I love your work. Any chance of a link to the schematic please.
nice work
Great video and thanks, I really enjoy your videos. Any chance of a link to the schematic please.

Try pausing video at 0:25 and then use Windows Snipping Tool to save as jpg
Do you have a part number, specificatiom, or supplier for the enamelled wire? I have some but I think it's much too thin.
Wiish we could have seen some VNA test results.
Could this be made with a rotary switch?
Mike, how did you come up with using a t200 ferrite?.
it's a 43mix??
Is this toroid iron powder type -2 ? I thought this material was red/brown ?
N8NK QRP has a couple of videos of multiple taps, which I have made and found useful for end fed wire antenna's.
Great build, thanks for sharing!

You can but if you model it in software all hell breaks loose. 👀
I would think not but give it ago.... Just test on very low power.....
Hi Mike can please make a 12 to 1.
Why? What for?

@@michealbell5042I will see what I can do. 😊
*16:1 IS OF NO USE*---Someone told me that a matching transformer above 9:1 is not effective. Is that true? What is the number (AWG) of wire you have used?
Well a 49:1 is possible the most used antenna!!!
@mike-M0MSN How you calculated that? Which antenna is using 49:1? That's nit a standard ratio. 16:1 is the maximum used.
Me I'm lazy - I would just take one of each and keep it simple ! Enjoy the break Mike. M7BLC
Title says unun in the video says balun. Is this a balun or unun?
Well no, a balun (balanced to unbalanced) unun, (unbalanced to unbalanced) so a EFHW uses a unun and a dipole uses a balun.
I love music.
I could easily do without this particular soundtrack.
Yes me too
Nice Mike, Next test: Revolve them all tree wires then wind and test...?
I did a test on a 25mm core with 0,7mm wire for QRP and was good.

Great video. Your Picture in Picture blocked the schematic.

You are right but at 1:31 I correct the 3 wire issue and add the fourth......sorry you didn't stay long enough .. :(
I may have spent way too much time money and effort, but I've concluded that you random dudes love to throw power away,
yep
