Termination Resistor, 400 Ohm Non-Inductive for Terminated Vee, T2FD, BBTD, Rhombic, V-Beam, 1-61 MHz, 600 Watts
Product Details

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

Resistive Value: 400 ohms (+/- 10%)

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

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

Length (tip to tip) Inches: 11 1/4"

Width inches: 2 1/4"

Inductance < 20 nH (1-61 MHz)

Internal Resistance Wattage: 150 watts

Antenna Note: For terminated V antenna shown, use a 16:1 + 1:1 hybrid transformer to match the 50 ohms to 800 (400 + 400) in the antenna "legs"


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.
