Model 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.

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.
Generator RFI testimonial:
Bob Received your order in a timely fashion. Tried the generator kit on Sunday & it drops the noise from S9 to S5 and took out all the electrical noise. I may want some more toroids from you at some point for other interference problems I have here. Ken VE3KCY

Want to make up your own RFI kits for a particular operation? Here are links to some of typical RFI solutions used in portable operations:
If you use a computer for logging in your portable operations, RFI getting into computers will often lock up your computer and/or radio and a computer RFI suppression kits may be helpful
Make your expedition or portable operation a pleasant and fun outing and remember to take along your RFI kits so you have more time to operate rather then to troubleshoot intermittent or noisy receiver conditions.
Portable Antenna Kits
If you need an effective portable antenna which folds up for transport yet is easy to deploy at your operating site, consider the BULLET series of end fed wire antennas.
