50:200 (4:1) CUBE™ Current Balun, 1.8-61 MHz, 1.5KW - Loop, OCF, Folded Dipole useful to 200 MHzProduct DetailsMPN: CB-4-1500Country/Region of Manufacture: USAType: BalunInput ohms/Output ohms: 50 in, 200 outFrequency Range < 2:1 SWR (MHz): 1-31PEP Power Rating (watts): 1500Enclosure Size: 4" x4" x 2"Weight (pounds): 2Antenna Compatability: Dipoles: Extended double zepp, folded 2 wire, off center fed (OCF); Loops: Horizontal, vertical - coax fedThe CB-4-1500 balun is a multi-core current balun with an enclosure box. Input is via SO-239 coax connector and output can be top studs (for ladder line) or side eye hooks (2) and top eye hook used as a halyard hoist for supporting your wire antenna. Rated 1500 Watts PEP Watts from 1.8-61 MHz (see SWR graph).
This transformer requires a feed line choke to isolate the coax feed line from the antenna. A coax noise filter at the radio end of the coax is also recommended to reduce coax cable common mode noise.is also recommended.
Useful on these type of antennas:
Dipole, double extended
Dipole, linear load, ladder line fed
Dipole, long, non-resonant
Dipole, off-center fed (OCF)
Dipole, snake type, ladder line fed
Long wire with ground system
Multi-band, remote balun
Useful out to 200 MHZ under 2:1 SWR (see swr graph)

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.
