1:1 Current BalunProduct DetailsModel BA-1-1000 is a 1:1 balun kit used to translate a 50 ohm
unbalanced input to 50 ohms unbalanced at power levels up to 1000 watts
PEP/100 watts continuous when used with a matched load. With a matched
load the SWR will not exceed 1.5 over the frequency range 1.8 to 61 MHz.
1,000 PEP watt rating on a 25% duty cycle. Will sustain about 100 watts RTTY or FT8 at 6 meters. (for higher power use the BA-1-1500 with 6-8 turns for higher frequencies).
Common mode impedance peaks
around 3,500 ohms at 10Mmhz.
With a matched 50 ohm load the SWR over the frequency range 1.8 to 61
MHz is shown in the following table measured with an AIM 4170 network
analyzer. Notice that the conversion from 50 to 50 ohms is very
consistent from 1.8-61 MHz and SWR is less than 1.3:1 over the range
allowing easy tuning by most radio internal antenna tuners or an
external tuner.
Ba-1-1000 1:1 Balun/Unun 1KW PEP 1-61 Mhz
The kit consists of a F140 ferrite toroidal core, enamel insulated
wire, a SO-239 connector with stainless steel hardware, and an
illustrated instruction manual with directions to connect the kit as a 1
to 1 balun/unun (unbalanced coax to unbalanced antenna or balanced
antenna like a dipole). Balun assembly time takes about an hour and is a
fun learning process.
Add a SO-239 Kit on output side to create a 1:1 unun (coax to coax line isolator) or add studs for a balun for use with dipole or beam antenna.
Use the recommwnded CB-Box-1 for a convenient enclosure.

Christmas lights or yard lights with switching DC power supplies are often the RFI source and a clamp on ferrite bead on the AC AND the DC side feeding the lights is needed to help suppress the switching power supply RFI noise. Suitable snap on beads are FSB31-1/2 for the 1-250 MHz range.
We have also had reported wireless HDTV boxes, and FOSCAM and AMCREST security camera systems causing RFI to garage door remote openers. Use our Garage Door Opener RFI kit to suppress the interference to the opener (VICTIM) – you need one kit for each opener. Maximize the distance from the camera to the openers may also help. Additionally shield cable to the garage door sensors may be needed depending on severity of the camera RFI.
Obvious Tech Note: make sure your remote batteries have enough energy to activate the GDO or the signal they transmit may not be large enough to over ride the RFI signal, but a fresh battery may be able to overcome the weak RFI source and allow the GDO to operate correctly.
