High Power rated at 2KW/5KW (option) PEP (FT8 mode at 1.5KW for 5KW PEP model)
Broad frequency range of 1.8-61 MHz for < 2:1 SWR into matched load. 5KW model is 1.8-31 MHz
Compact 4" x 4" x 2" (2KW) or 4" x 4" x 2" (5KW) light weight weatherproof enclosure
Quick, easy deployment with either halyard hoist or side mounting tabs
Choice of BALUN (balanced outputs) or UNUN (unbalanced output and ground)
Model CB-2-2000 is a 2:1 (100:50) quad core balun used to translate a 50 ohm input to 100 ohms at RF power levels up to 2000 watts PEP when used with a matched load such as single band delta loop, quad or loop skywire. This assembled balun features a multi-core configuration for increased power handling and flatter frequency response to over 60 MHz. With a matched 100 ohm load the SWR over the frequency range is very consistent from 1.8-61 MHz and SWR is less than 2:1 over the range allowing easy tuning by most radio internal antenna tuners or an external tuner.
Note: CU-2-2000SO picture shown CU-1.5-1500SO product but input/output connectors are correct.
12:1 Ununs are useful between coax and long wires with a load impedance near 600 ohms like a beverage antenna. Shortwave listener antennas also can benefit with the 12:1 unun and it may provide a better match than 9:1 ununs – this means quieter noise levels and stronger signals so you can hear distance stations easier.
