Hello Laura,

 

I saw your post about securing some radio equipment. I think the VLF converter would be good but the balun is only required if you only have a 50- 75 Ohm input for the receiver. If it's just a simple single wire input connection it may not be necessary. However, I'm not sure about the VLF converter antenna input. It may have an SO-239 female unbalanced input connector. My own Kenwood TS-450S 100 watt Ham transceiver has a 50 Ohm unbalanced input and a built-in auto antenna tuner. My antenna is a 100 meter long wire antenna. Works great on the 40 (about 7 Mhz) meter band! I was going to try to use a closed loop RF generator/receiver set-up like Spiricom but my RF generator 400 Hz internal tone audio oscillator went belly-up. And I don't have an external audio oscillator to feed to my RF generator. Anyway, good hunting!
