Hi, I have the same LDG RU-1:1 UNUN and the same wiring as shown in the video. Did you contact the manufacturer to check if the wiring is correct? 73 de Peter
Wait a 1:1 UNUN?? I think you meant BALUN. Unun's are usually: 9:1 (end fed randoms) 4:1 (Off center feds), and 49:1 ( end fed half waves) The good old dipole uses 1:1 baluns. I would start getting worried about 2:1 SWR and stop everything and go back to the work bench and tune the antenna if it hits 3:1. Many radios will protect themselves and shut down if the SWR is too high.
@@alflores4220 Yes a choke is a possible USE for it. The device itself is called an unun and is sold as such. Yes, it is possible for a device to be two things at once. The OP's issue is not so much with SWR itself but the fact that this allegedly broadband unun/choke is negatively impacting his SWR when it should be transparent at HF frequencies.

No, he means UNUN. Unbalanced input and output. This is not intended for matching, it's for suppressing common mode currents on coax shield.
@@socallars3748 Then we refer to those as a" choke" .
