40-6 Meter Loop antenna (144' wire) + 500/1500/5000 Watt PEP rated 4:1 Current Balun + internal 1:1 Current Balun in one enclosure + 4 insulators for support
* Complete package - just add coax
* works multiple bands with ease
* can be configured as delta, square, rectangle or multi-sided horizontal loop (6 insulators included)
* Choice of 500, 1.5KW or 5KW PEP rated baluns to suit power needs
* No need for extra feed line choke as it is built into the 4:1 balun enclosure
After many requests we have created a compact, special balun for OCF and loop (Skyloop or Delta loop) antennas. The CB-4-1-1500/5000 is a CUBE enclosure containing a multi-core, broadband 4:1 impedance transformer in series with a 1:1 current balun for extra common mode current choking to keep RF current off the outside of the coax braid and on the antenna where it belongs. The extra choking action also means that the coax feed line will not act as a radiator causing unnecessary RF interference (RFI).
1.5KW Rated for full 1500 watts PEP and 1000 watts CW/FT8 (ICAS). 1.8Mhz – 61 MHz.
5KW Rated for full 5000 watts PEP and 1500 watts CW/FT8 (ICAS). 1.8Mhz – 61 MHz.
500 watt version is in "BULLET" format, 1.5KW is a 4 x 4 x 2 cube and 5KW is in 4" x 4" x 4" enclosure.
4:1 impedance transformers (Baluns and Unun configurations) are available in kit form or assembled form in a weatherproof Current Unun and Balun Enclosure which we call CUBE Baluns™ and CUBE Ununs™. All 4:1 impedance transformers use ferrite cores and the kit forms can be configured as a balun with balanced output of 200 ohms or as ununs with one side grounded.
4:1 baluns are designed for 50 ohm unbalanced (coax) input to 200 ohm output (either balanced or with one side grounded).
4:1 Baluns are useful between balanced lines for center fed Zepps, Off-center fed (OCF) dipoles with coax, G5RV antennas, full wave loops, NVIS dipoles that are close to ground and have impedance levels near 200 ohms or high impedance feeds for log periodic beams.
4:1 ununs are useful between coax and vertical antennas, monopole verticals or long wires with load impedances near 200 ohms.
