PURPOSE

These kits are designed to choke common mode currents going into or exiting from your amplifier cables.Filters are supplied for the RF In, RF Out, Relay Cable/control lines, remote control unit and AC power line.Use of the filters often helps cure SWR problems between amp exciter and amp and between amp and antenna tuner or direct to antenna.The AC power line choke helps keep common mode current out of the power line which could cause interference to other devices connected to the same power line if not suppressed.

16:1 Baluns are useful between 750-850 ohm balanced loads where the impedance at the  end of the feed line is 800 ohms (1/2 wavelength feed line), or high impedance feeds for rhombic,  T2FD and traveling wave antennas.

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.
