Baluns and
Balancing Networks
These baluns and balancing networks are intended for use with our folded dipole and end-fed Vee antennas. They come in two power ratings. Other typical uses are for Rhombics, Delta loops, and V-beams. They are ruggedly constructed in weatherproof plastic enclosures with stainless steel hardware, and will provide years of trouble free performance. Baluns have a type 'N' connector, and will match a 600 ohm balanced load to a 50 ohm coaxial cable. The balancing networks have insulated connections and present a non-inductive 600 ohm impedance. All are designed to work broadband over the HF band.
