HF 160-6m Current Balun 3kw

A Ferrite Core Balun fitted with SO239 (Felame PL259) - IB-HF

If you do not want to wind a choke yourself or have an issue with the soldering iron or you just want a much cleaner Balun install then we can help. Ferrite core baluns have a much wider bandwidth than the choke so are far more suitable to wide band or multi-band antennas

The Ferrite core baluns are fitted with terminal connections to suit your product and are fully water-proofed at the factory being sealed with a glue-filled UV stable heat-shrink prior to dispatch

The Ferrite Core baluns can help get the absolute best in terms of performance from any Yagi. It is not understood by many the importance of a balun and what is does so below are a few lines of explanation.

In addition to the performance drop, coax radiating can lead to causing interference in your home and those of neighbours too. There is one more very important aspect of using a wideband balun ferrite core types and this can reduce receiver noise levels too in certain instances.

Many household products today produce noise, sensitive ham radio receivers could be picked up and prevent weak signals being heard. Often, these noises can be picked up on the coax cable itself which runs up towards and enters the antenna system. The Ferrite cores within the balun not only prevent common-mode currents running back down the coax cable when transmitting.
