Applications |
Dipoles, trap dipoles, Inverted-V, Slopers, etc. Applications requiring a 1:1 balun | Dipoles, trap dipoles, Inverted-V, Slopers, etc. Applications requiring a 1:1 balun | High power, high isolation version of the B1-2K Plus. | High power version of the B1-2K. | Any precision 50-ohm application requiring output wires at the top. This includes Yagis and other beams, as well as interface application between coax and ladder (i.e. G5RV) | Any 20-6 meter application where a coil of coax type choke balun is used. |
Power rating is based on a SSB or CW duty-cycle with an SWR of 3:1 or less at the output of the balun. Eye-bolts are stainless-steel and are not internally connected. Specifications are subject to change without notice.
