Accessories - Baluns, Chokes & UN-UNS
1:1, 4:1, and 6:1 Ratio Voltage Baluns
- All models have SO239 input connector
(type N-female connectors available upon request)
- 80m thru 10m performance
(except wideband versions that cover 80m thru 6m)
- Legal limit power handling when matched to a 50 Ohm antenna

UN-UNS (unbalanced-to-unbalanced)
- UN-UNS are used to feed long wire antennas where a step-up Impedance ratio is needed to match the high Impedance of an end fed half-wave wire
- An UN-UN will work well where the antenna's length is a multiple of a half wave at the lower frequency
- Many UN-UN's are used to feed the half-wave wire but use the feed coax shield for the ground reference. This can cause radiation on the coax which is not good , nor a safe thing to have.
- Adding an in-line RF choke a distance back from the UN-UN is a good thing to do
- We recommend a counterpoise of about 0.05 wavelengths at the lowest frequency
- See our new series of off center fed multiband dipoles which are used for the UN-UNS (Click for Details)
- Standard center fed input connector is a Type-UHF female (SO-239) but Type-N female is also available
