50:200 ohm (4:1) Dual Core Current Balun Kit, 1-55 MHz, 1500 watts PEP, for OCF, Loop, Ladder Line AntennasProduct DetailsMPN: BA-4-1000DCType: balun or ununInput ohms/Output ohms: 50 in, 200 outFrequency Range < 2:1 SWR (MHz): 1-55PEP Power Rating (watts): 1500 Watts PEPAntenna Compatability: Balun: Ladder line to coax interfacePurpose. Model BA-4-1500DC is a 4:1 dual core balun kit (assembly required from parts supplied) used to translate a 50 ohm input up to 200 ohms at RF power levels up to 1000 watts when used with a matched load. It provides conversion from unbalanced coax to balanced ladder line/antenna feed point and gives a 4:1 impedance step-up to reduce SWR on the coax. Place at the junction of the balanced line and the coax to convert from balanced line to unbalanced coax.
KIT Contents. The kit consists of a 2 ferrite toroidal cores, two colors of insulated wire, a SO-239 UHF connector with stainless steel hardware, and an instruction manual.
Assembly time: About 1 hour, illustrated manual included with purchase.
Radio Club idea:
Buy 10 for a club do it yourself construction project - you can learn something and also build an end fed antenna (just add wire).
Product picture shows assembled item of all components in kit.
NOTE: for higher power and a true current balanced 4:1, use our BA-4-1500DC dual core 4;1 balun kit
