Insertion Loss (dB): <.2
Input Connector: SO-239 UHF

Available as a Unun for 50 ohm coax to 75 ohm coax or 75 unbalanced load or as a Balun for 50 ohm coax to balanced load such as a low (less than a wavelength high) dipole with either side eye bolts and halyard hoist or as post mountable top studs output.

This is an impedance transformer for 50 to 75 ohms and may require a additional feed line choke to keep common mode current off the coax braid.

CB-1.5-1500EB is useful for a dipole center feedpoint for low dipoles with 75 ohm antenna impedance.

Top stud version also useful for 75 ohm ladder line to coax interface


Portable operation is fun but also brings challenges to the radio operator concerning receiver “noise” levels, RF interference from adjacent sources including close by transmitting stations, and RFI from portable generators.  A typical scenario and some suggested Palomar product solutions are shown in the picture below:

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.

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:

AC/DC common mode filters

Feed Line chokes

Coax Noise Filters

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

Computer RFI Kits

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.
