Hybrid 9:1 Current Balun + 1:1 Current Balun in one enclosure, 1.8-61 MHz, 1.5KW PEP - BBTD, T2FD AntennaProduct DetailsMPN: CB-9-1-1500EB or TS option, N suffix for N connector inputCountry/Region of Manufacture: USAInput ohms/Output ohms: 50 in/450 outFrequency Range < 2:1 SWR (MHz): 1.8-61 MHz for 1.5KWPEP Power Rating (watts): 1.5KWEnclosure Size: 4"x4"x 2"(1.5KW), 6"x 6" x 4"(3KW/5KW)Weight (pounds): 3After many requests we have created a compact, special hybrid balun for Terminated Folded Dipoles (TTFD) and Broad band Terminated Dipole/loop (BBTD) antennas. The CB-9-1-1500 is a CUBE(TM) enclosure containing a multi-core, broadband 9:1 impedance transformer (50 ohm coax input to balanced 450 ohm output) in series with a 1:1 current balun for extra common mode current choking to keep RF current off the outside of the coax braid and on the antenna where it belongs. The extra choking action also means that the coax feed line will not act as a radiator causing unnecessary RF interference (RFI). Rated for full 1500 watts PEP and 450 watts CW (ICAS). 1.8Mhz – 61 MHz.
CB-9-1-1500EB is housed in a 4” x 4” x 2” waterproof housing with SO-239 input and stainless steel eye bolts on the side for ease of connection to your wire antenna. Top eye bolt acts as an antenna hoist. Also available with top studs for post or wall mounting (Model # CB-9-1-1500TS)
Termination resistor for the antenna is a Model # TR-500-600
Picture Note: Some pictures are labelled CB-4-1-1500 but you will receive a CB-9-1-1500 either eye bolt or top stud versions. N connector versions are customer made to order - please allow up to 10 days after order before shipment.
