Bullet End Fed Long Wire (EFLW) Antenna Wire Kit for end fed long wire antennas - choose 41, 71, 111, 155, 173, 203, 268 foot lengths complete with end insulator, #14 Insulated stranded copper wire and spade lugs and heat shrink for lugs for attachment to an optional Bullet 9:1 unun.


Insulators are a very stealthy, strong, pair of 2 PVC, 2 1/4" long. 1" wide. 1 1/8" hole separation wire antenna insulators and may be black, gray or white depending upon inventory

See related products for 9:1 transformers from 100 watts to 5KW, 9:1 toroid kits, and feed line chokes.

For a complete installation you will need 9:1 unun, wire kit, appropriate length of coax, and feed line choke (SOFLC is easiest to use and change position as you tune the antenna).

Bullet Antenna Length - feet (41, 71, 92, 111, 155, 173)
Corresponding Counterpoise length feet (16, 42, 90, 37, 95, 80) - place feed line choke on coax at this measured length from 9:1 unun


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.
