The “Bullet” End Fed Antenna Counterpoise Kit

Bullet 9U Antenna Counterpoises 08282022 png - Tube Feed Line Chokes

Th kit contains 1 pre-assembled counterpoise wire which easily attaches to the counterpoise connector on the BULLET matching unit. Improves performance on 1 or more bands. Black/Gray/Blue wire is standard.

Application Note: This kit is typically used with only with Bullet Antenna systems like the 41 foot, 71 foot, 92 foot, 111 foot or 155 foot when you DO NOT USE the coax braid as the counterpoise (such as when you coax is too short). The counterpoise radiates just like the other half of a dipole so DO NOT GROUND IT! It is used to fine tune particular bands (by varying the length to get the lowest SWR reading on as many bands as possible. Multiple length counterpoises can also be used if needed for a particular band) if your particular antenna geometry doesn't show a low enough SWR on a particular band.

Suggested counterpoise lengths are as follows:

41 foot antenna wire needs a 16 foot length (20 feet of wire supplied so you can adjust as needed by folding back on itself)

71 foot antenna wire needs a 42-50 foot length (50 feet of wire supplied so you can adjust as needed by folding back on itself)

92 foot antenna wire needs a 90 foot length (100 feet of wire supplied so you can adjust as needed by folding back on itself)

111 foot antenna wire needs a 37 foot length (50 feet of wire supplied so you can adjust as needed by folding back on itself)

155 foot antenna wire needs a 95 foot length (100 feet of wire supplied so you can adjust as needed by folding back on itself)

TUBE feed line chokes/Line Isolators are used to suppress common mode current carried on the outside of the  coax braid which is often responsible for receiver noise and RFI in the receiver/transmitter. These chokes are very useful for suppressing RFI common mode current at the antenna feed point, at 1/4 wavelength intervals along the coax feed line and also at the entrance to the radio station.  They are available with various input and output connectors so as to conveniently connect to standard output connectors already installed on your feed line.

Palomar Engineers TUBE feed line chokes are designed to have 2-5 times more choking impedance over a broader frequency range than competitor units in similar packaging.  Each choke has the choking impedance and effective frequency range on the product label so you can choose the product best suited for your application.
