VHF yagi balun (1 reply and 1 comment)
Yagi's don't normally need impedance matching baluns, but a 1:1 balun isolates the feed line / coax from the antenna to prevent the coax being used as part of the antenna and causing SWR issues
so a 1:1 current balun will help

Hello all. I have a VHF yagi that was gifted to me. The box containing the balun was knackered and the guts had corroded so I have replaced the box but I am struggling to find a concrete answer on the best balun. Most seem to suggest a 1:1 but there are contradicting answers. Can anyone help?
