The Twinax is shielded twinlead. Like your 300 Ohm twinlead with a shield. It could be useful in some situations.

It probably could be made to work for a half wave loop balun. but would...

Yes



The 1st UHF transistor (BFG67) could be replaced with a BFG520.

It might lower noise figure a couple of tenths of a dB.

Prrobably need to retune.

Yes, plus.

Channel Master and some other manufacturers have not provided accurate noise figure numbers.

Numbers often provided are quotes from transistor manufacturers specs.

There is more...

Yes, looks like it is.

It appears L7 is meant to move to L7a location for the 0264 version.

Your preamp is probably newer.

There is no absolute limit relative to length. Probably way down the coax would have little effect. You will be limited by the length of coax to your preamplifier.

Two ferrites, next to the...

The graphs of ferrite impedance look OK for your application.



They are a form of ceramic, if they bang against each other they crack and separate.



Merry is a good state.

CM-0264 Preamp

Seems feasible.

Main item is additional balun.

PCB traces are already there. Need to cut an etch connecting UHF & VHF, etc. Probably have to solder in a small jumper.

Maybe touch up...

Good morning Sev.



The CM 0064DSB has a regular ferrite 300:75 Ohm balun at its input.

The core and windings are seen in the lower right of this image (near input terminals).

Ferrite, Wavelength, etc.

Not clear how your choke balun is configured?

The choke balun does not make impedance transformation as regular 300:75 Ohm baluns would.

For example; two 300-Ohm antennas paralleled would...

Thanks for the RE report.

Looks like you have several strong signal stations to choose from.




As you know, there are several other factors that affect received signal strength besides...

Bob, Interesting modification.



Yes true.

Still, every small, or not so small, amount of gain adds up.

Nice work, Bob.



Wonder where you obtained the 'C' channel.

Wonder if Home Depot or Lowes has it?
