Hy-gain bn-86 3-30 mhz 1500W 50-ohm best balun ever
This balun is a ferrite, balanced to unbalanced, antenna matching device. With a transformation ratio of 1:1, the balun will couple into any 50 ohm balanced system such as dipoles, multiband doublets and beam antennas
This balun is supplied with stainless steel hardware except for eyebolts
For higher power and higher VSWR, use the Hy-Gain BN-4000 current-type balun rated at 2000 watts ave., 4000 watts PEP
DO NOT use this balun with any type of antenna tuner or match box when the VSWR
(before matching) is greater than 3:1. If the VSWR is below 3:1, a match box can be used
as long as the power levels are kept below the limits shown in the Specifications. When
these power and VSWR limits are exceeded, the extremely high standing wave voltage
present at the feedpoint causes the breakdown voltage of the balun to be exceeded
The coaxial connection may be weatherproofed with hand-moldable plastic Coax-Seal . This substance should be applied liberally to the connection and pushed into tight areas for complete sealing.
