Bullet™ and Super-Bullet™ Baluns and Ununs are 500/1500 watts PEP rated, purpose designed for portable and stealth installations for all antenna types. Easy to deploy, heavy and sturdy enough to be thrown over a tree limb with ease and robust enough to run demanding digital modes like FT-8/FT-4, RTTY, and PSK31. Buy the Bullet™ balun or unun of your choice and experience the fun of making your own custom antenna with our convenient wire add-on kits. We are sure you will be pleased with the results.
Use for 1/4″ Cable – RG-58, RG8X, LMR-240, etc
Includes heat shrink option for protection from outdoor weather.
For 1/4” cables use five FSB31-1/4 split beads for 80-10 meters (3-30 mHz) or ten FSB31-1/4 split beads for 160-10 (1.8-30 MHz) meters or use 15 FSB31-1/4 for even higher choking for 1-10 MHz. A minimum impedance of 500 ohms is needed for 50 ohm cable or 10 times the cable impedance for other cables.
Typical Impedance per split bead: 10 Mhz: 100 ohms, 25 Mhz: 163 ohms, 100 Mhz: 275 ohms, 250 Mhz: 275 ohm
The beads clamp to the cable and may be operated as is for indoor use. However, it is strongly suggested that they be covered to protect the plastic covers from weathering – use electrical tape for best results or heat shrink to ensure longer life. All kits come with instruction manual which covers assembly and application tips.
As you can see from the impedance vs frequency graph, you can very effectively increase the choking impedance by increasing the number of beads on the cable.
Snap On and Slip on Feed line chokes available in sizes to fix cables with outside diameters of 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4", 1" - check website for other size options.
