6kW High Power HexBeam Balun

All our products are handmade, and fulfilment times may vary depending on order volume. Please allow 2–3 weeks for your order to be completed and shipped.

Function

On the coaxial cable side an SO 239 connector is provided, while on the antenna side a 30 cm long “pigtail” with PL259 is installed that connects directly to the HexBeam connector. Because the transformer is based on a toroidal ferrite core, the common-mode choke impedance obtained is several times higher than what’s achievable with the standard “string of beads” solution often offered with a HexBeam antenna.

The general mechanical and electrical specifications of this variant are similar to those of a standard Line Isolator.
