    Xeigu radios?

    I had a G90 for a spell. Bricked until rewarmed at -25 C. Damned thing is cold next to skin at that temperature. Great radio for warmer temps. Tuner worked awesome.

    1/2 wave Inverted V Dipole Antenna

    What is this balun you speak of?? Joking. I am portable HF up to 45 watts but mostly 12 watts. All my dipoles, no balun but I spend a lot of time testing and tuning on various terrain (mostly Mountain top). Baluns are great for less than idea setups in my books.
