Ham Goodies

Welcome to Ham Goodies

We offer a variety of Amateur Radio bits 'n' pieces for not only the Shack, but also a range of outdoor portable kit. Our Baluns are made in our workshop and therefore pride is taken in using not only the best quality materials - but also the right materials. See About Us for more details.

We ship to the UK, Ireland and Europe (if your Country is in the drop-down box on the Register page, we can ship to you). Click here for postage/shipping rates. You can easily calculate the cost of shipping by adding items to the shopping cart and entering your Post/ZIP Code.

Some items, particularly ferrites, attract a quantity discount - ideal for club/group buys. Prices on ferrites are competitive but do vary with the market

2x FT240-31 Choke/Isolator with 12-turns of RG142 Baluns are our thing - and you'll find various Balun and Choke solutions here. We believe that using the right ferrite size (and material) is important. We keep a good stock all kinds of ferrites for your own projects. Shown here is a QRO Choke featuring 2x FT240 toroids wound using RG142 coax.

With the UK licence now permitting 1000-watts by Full licence holders on Primary bands, consider your next Balun/Choke wisely. Several of our products can be specified for QRO power. Whether you run a Dipole, Doublet/G5RV or End-Fed - we have something for you!

For most Dipole/Doublet/G5RV installations up to 100w, we suggest this lightweight 1:1 Choke/Balun.

Balun/Ferrite Hints/Tips - Our handy reference page includes all you need to know about your next Balun or Ferrite purchase.

If there's something strange, on your waterfall... The rise of work-from-home means more electrical nasties in your neighbourhood, and it don't look good! Thankfully, there's a chance that our 31-mix "Problem-Solver" can tame some of the electrical "crud" coming through the house wiring.

It can also be used as an RF choke on coaxial cables. This item is a great way to test your coax and/or mains leads before committing to a permanent fix.

Cheeky wire down the garden to keep the neighbours happy? We have a 9:1 UnUn which is great for "random" lengths of wire that typically present a high impedance. This box can bring it down to a range acceptable to your transceiver or its internal ATU. We also have an End-Fed Halfwave matching unit for single or multi-band use.

VHF Portable - you can't beat a 2m Slim-Jim - these are available in kit-form or ready-built.

DMR CodePlug and CHIRP CSV Files - We offer a free DMR CodePlug for the Anytone D878 which is useful as a starting-block for your own local DMR repeaters. On the same page is our UK Repeater/Gateway CSV file for CHIRP which you can use to load memories into most radios.
