VERY PLEASED WITH THE CHANNEL MASTER BALUN. PURCHASED A UNIVERSAL ONE FIRST TIME AROUND. NEVER AGAIN, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.

The most important part of your antenna system

I purchased a cheap matching transformer from eBay. I wondered why my reception was so terrible. I cracked it open and found that there was no transformer inside. It was merely wires soldered to an F connector. No wonder it didn’t work. The channel Master transformer is worth the money, the quality is the best. Buy it directly from the channel master site for $19. If you order it from Amazon you will pay $25.

This is the Matching Transformer you want

I did a top-to-bottom overhaul of various components in my mid-201x-vintage rooftop antenna setup.

My use case is challenging because one of the major networks broadcasts on RF channel 8 (in the "VHF-High" range), at a distance of 52 miles, while almost everything else is much stronger and closer, and in the UHF range, and in scattered directions. So I really need to squeeze every bit of reception that I can, out of every channel, while I aim the Yagi straight at the weakest Transmitter.

If baluns were swords, my new CM-3203 is like Excalibur, whereas the balun it replaced was akin to a dull table knife. The CM-3203 is a worthy addition to my rooftop antenna setup, and clearly does its job well.

Items bought

Bought three items from channel master 50' coax cable four-way splitter and a balun. Broke connector on balun wire installing called support no questions. They sent me a new one what a company. Very helpful staff. Will use these guys forever. Everything working great.

Works fantastic. pickup stations 65 miles away on low gain. high gain gets channel 100plus. using a 45ft tower and a hd8200xl antenna.
