Termination Resistor, 500 Ohm Non-Inductive for T2FD, BBTD, Rhombic, 1-61 MHz, 600 Watts
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: 500 ohms (+/- 10%)

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

CW/FT8 (50% duty cycle) in watts: 400

Length (tip to tip) Inches: 14"

Width inches: 3"

Inductance < 20 nH (1-61 MHz)


Internal Resistance Wattage: 200 watts

If you need more power rating, consider putting two TR-1000-600 resistors in parallel for a total of 1200 watts at 500 ohms.

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.
