High Power rated at 1.5KW/3KW/5KW (option) PEP (FT8 mode at 1.5KW)
Broad frequency range of 3-30 MHz for < 2:1 SWR into matched load
Compact 4" x 4" x 2" (1.5KW) or 4" x 4" x 4" (3KW/5KW) light weight weatherproof enclosure
Quick, easy deployment with either halyard hoist and side eyebolts or to stud outputs (all 1/4" stainless hardware)
Choice of BALUN (balanced outputs) or UNUN (unbalanced output and ground)
Model CB-2.25-1500, 3000, 5000 is a 2.25:1 (112:50 ohm) multi-core balun used to translate a 50 ohm input to 112 ohms at RF power levels up to 5000 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 30 MHz. With a matched 112 ohm load the SWR over the frequency range is very consistent from 3-30 MHz and SWR is less than 2:1 over the range allowing easy tuning by most radio internal antenna tuners or an external tuner.
16:1 Ununs are useful between coax and long wires with a load impedance near 800 ohms like a beverage antenna. Shortwave listener antennas also can benefit with the 16:1 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.
