5:1 CUBE™ Unun – Model CU-5-1500 (50:250 Ohm, 1.8-61 MHz, 1.5KW PEP)
Application. For traveling wave, end fed or portable 20-31 foot vertical antennas the 5:1 unun makes a good transformer for converting 50 ohm coax to a 250 ohm feed point. If you use the antenna on multiple bands, the feed point impedance may not always be 250 ohms and use of the unun at high (>350 ohms) or low (<100 ohms) will require reduced power input or the unun may have its power ratings exceeded and damage to the unun may occur. The (5:1 conversion ratio will change for loads other than 250 ohms unbalanced.

The “Bullet” End Fed Antenna Counterpoise Kit
Th kit contains 1 pre-assembled counterpoise wire which easily attaches to the counterpoise connector on the BULLET matching unit. Improves performance on 1 or more bands. Black/Gray/Blue wire is standard.
Application Note: This kit is typically used with only with Bullet Antenna systems like the 41 foot, 71 foot, 92 foot, 111 foot or 155 foot when you DO NOT USE the coax braid as the counterpoise (such as when you coax is too short). The counterpoise radiates just like the other half of a dipole so DO NOT GROUND IT! It is used to fine tune particular bands (by varying the length to get the lowest SWR reading on as many bands as possible. Multiple length counterpoises can also be used if needed for a particular band) if your particular antenna geometry doesn't show a low enough SWR on a particular band.
Suggested counterpoise lengths are as follows:
41 foot antenna wire needs a 16 foot length (20 feet of wire supplied so you can adjust as needed by folding back on itself)
71 foot antenna wire needs a 42-50 foot length (50 feet of wire supplied so you can adjust as needed by folding back on itself)
92 foot antenna wire needs a 90 foot length (100 feet of wire supplied so you can adjust as needed by folding back on itself)
111 foot antenna wire needs a 37 foot length (50 feet of wire supplied so you can adjust as needed by folding back on itself)
155 foot antenna wire needs a 95 foot length (100 feet of wire supplied so you can adjust as needed by folding back on itself)
