Ladder Line Static Bleeder with Ground Lug
Product Details
Brand: Palomar Engineers
UPC: Does not apply
MPN: SB-1
Type: NEW
Country/Region of Manufacture: United States

Model SB-3 is a static bleeder meant for ladder line use. It is rated from 1-60 Mhz at 3 KW with a maximum SWR of 10:1 on the line. The SB-3 bleeder is used in line with an existing ladder line fed antenna usually at the entrance to the radio shack, and on the “antenna side” of the antenna tuner.

Either ladder line connector can be used for input/output (bi-directional) and a ground should be connected to the Ground Lug. Under normal static conditions, the SB-3 will bleed off residual static. For very high static voltage it is recommended that the ladder line be grounded directly.

Mobile RFI kits work two ways: They suppress RFI from on board computers and other sensing/control devices in your vehicle that may cause your radio to be a VICTIM of RFI, and second they suppress RFI generated by your radio as a SOURCE which may affect your on board computers or other devices.  Mobile operations of HF radios (1-30 Mhz) tend to experience more RFI effects than VHF/UHF mobile stations.  If you have both HF and VHF installations in your vehicles, you may need both kits.

To address separate solutions we have developed two separate RFI kits: one for HF (1.8-300 MHz) mobile installations and another for VHF/UHF (30-1000 MHz) mobile installations.  Each kit uses the appropriate ferrite mix for the frequency range desired.
