The Bullet-4-1-500EB (500 watts PEP) or the SBULLET-4-1-1500EB (1500 watts PEP) are both multi-core, 4:1 (50 ohm to 200 ohm) balun plus a 1:1 feed line choke in a single compact (looks like a bullet) enclosure that is lightweight and easy to transport for your fixed/portable.Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR) up to -30 dB for internal feed line chokes.

Very useful for multi-band Off Center Fed, folded dipole and multi-band loop antenna systems. Halyard hoist at top of balun for convenient attachment point. Input is via SO-239 UHF coax connector and output with side eye bolt output.

Dimension of 1500 watt model is 8.5 inches tall, 6.5 inches wide tip to tip on the eyebolts.

Shipping weights are 2 pounds for 500 watt version and 3 pounds for 1500 watt version.

Remember we over engineer our products, to out perform our competition - just compare the weight and frequency range of our baluns to theirs and you will know we put much more into our products so you don't have to worry about failure at a critical moment.

When considering solutions for AM broadcast (550 Khz – 1.8 Mhz) you should consider Mix 77 ferrites available in a variety of shapes and sizes. Choose a size to give the maximum number of turns of the affected wire or cable.

AM broadcast transmits on a low frequency with large antennas. Consequently it takes a large antenna to receive the signals. Typical “antennas” are AC house wiring, phone lines, long satellite or cable TV cables, DSL/CAT5 lines running between rooms, etc. The device wires that connect to these “antennas” need to be choked with as many turns through the ferrite as possible. Some installation examples are shown below on this page.

For AC/ DC power cords and coax cables the F240-77 (2.4″ OD, 1.4″ ID) “Donut” toroid is the most popular. Also available are smaller toroid donuts and Mix 77 beads. Shown below is a graph with 8, 10, and 12 turns through the toroid – obviously more turns has higher choking impedance. Mix 77 toroid products are HERE and Mix 77 small beads (for small wires) are HERE

Shown below is a graph of frequency response verses choking magnitude for a F240-77 in the AM Broadcast band for a 12 turn coil around the toroid. (Same info as above but different frequency range).
