07/11/2021 BALUN TRI7 comes without a balun. We recommend to use a Momobeam balun that is available in three versions: 3kW, 5kW and 10kW. Alternatively, you can use a 1:1 balun of your choice or make a coax cable RF choke (see instructions at the end of the manual).
- Check all measurements and spacing. If no errors are found in the measurements, it is likely that your new Momobeam antenna has been mounted at an insufficient height (less than 10 meters) or it is possible that there is an interaction with other antennas or metallic objects (if they are less than 3 meters away).
