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.
Typical application:
Also available as a balanced output – CB-5-1500

Feed line chokes for verticals require a special arrangement to isolate the coax feed line from the radials and ground system. Schematically, a good feed line choke for verticals with radials should be built as follows:
Our CUV-1-1500 and CUV-1-5000 feed line chokes are all internally connected to isolate the coax feed line as shown above.
1500 Watt Rated 1:1 Feed line Choke (Unun) for Verticals with radials
Th CUV-1-1500 unun is a common mode feed line choke for vertical antennas with radials that need to be isolated from the coaxial feed line to keep common mode current from using the coaxial braid as another radial. Very effective with high choking of 1K-5K from 1.8-61 MHz and also incorporates two side studs/wingnut terminals for radial or ground connection at the antenna while isolating the coax feed line braid from the radials via the internal common mode feed line choke. Top terminal with stud/wingnut for vertical connection enclosed in a 4″ x 4″ x 2″ box..
To reduce receiver common mode noise for long runs of coax to your antenna, use a MC-1-1500 or CU-1-1500 feed line choke at the station end of the coax.
