Termination Resistor, 1000 Ohm Non-Inductive for T2FD, BBTD, Rhombic, 1-61 MHz, 600 Watts PEP
Product Details

Broadband, Non-Inductive Termination Resistor load used on many terminated antenna types such as T2FD, Broadband Terminated Dipole (BBTD), Rhombics and others

Resistive Value: 1000 ohms (+/- 10%)

SSB (25% duty cycle) rating in Watts: 600

CW/FT8 (50% duty cycle) in watts: 300

Length (tip to tip) Inches: 14"

Width inches: 3"

Inductance < 20 nH (1-61 MHz)

Internal Resistance Wattage: 200 watts

you can use 2 of the 1000 ohm resistors in parallel to yield 500 ohms total and double the power at 1200 watts. Perfect for high power antennas with 9:1 transformers requiring 500 ohm termination resistance total.

Excellent Install of BBTD by K1FU

Delivery Note (2/15/2023) - we are currently out of stock but will have more in stock around April 1, 2023. You can order now to get in the queue for the next 100 resistors.

Testimonial

Hi Bob,

Radio: Flex-6700 running barefoot -10 to 100 Watts max.
Antenna: MFJ-1216 – 160/80 meter OCFD wire antenna with matching network.
Elevation: Over 60 feet AGL – fully extended.
Installed: Mid November 2013

I operate mainly on the digital modes running less than 50 Watts.  All of the sudden after a few days operating with this antenna, I start to have RFI and my radio was acting up; such as changing bands, SWR changing values, radio failures and turning off. However, when I used my Hy-Gain 18 HT vertical on the same band none of the abnormality occurred.
I contacted MFJ and confirm that what I was noticing was a failure of their “matching network” AKA balun.  They offered no solutions. Then I contacted Palomar Engineers and bought the 1:1 new toroid RF beads.  I called Palomar Engineers and I happened to talked to you directly; regarding the on going issue with the MFJ antenna. I found out that the 1:1 balun was not what I needed (I was miss-informed by MFJ that it was 1:1 matching network.)
You offered to make the required balun 4:1 and the rest is history.

Here are my findings:

  1. No more RFI displayed on the monitors.
  2. Radio not acting up or turning off.
  3. The SWR at 160/80 meter is 1.2:1
  4. No antenna tuner required.  (radio goes to Bypass automatically.)
  5. Worst SWR is on 10 meter with a 2:1 but still usable, with antenna tuner 1.5.
  6. One happy OCFD user!

Thanks to Palomar Engineers design and engineering for solving this issue.
