TZ-1840
1:1 high power (1kW) HF Balun
The TZ-1840 balun is a high performance low loss, 1:1 balun. The balun is supplied with all stainless steel connections, fully sealed in a high impact ABS plastic case and is suitable for boom mounting or sling mounting. A ferrite core is used to extend the useable range of the balun down to 160m, whilst still being able to handle high power, without saturating.The TZ-1840 Balun features include:
Operating frequency
3.5 MHz to 30 MHz (usable to 1.8 -> 45 MHz)
Operating power
1 kW CW continuous (into a matched load)
Type
Linear, ferrite core
Ratio
1 :1
Typical impedance
50 ohm or 75 ohm
Thru loss
< 0.25 dB (typical 3.5 to 30 MHz) (Better than 0.5dB 160m) (< 0.1dB 5 to 18 MHz)
VSWR
Degradation less than 1.1:1 (typical)
The TZ-1840 is not a kit. It is supplied fully constructed with detailed installation instructions and hardware for mounting.
The TZ-1840 is an excellent choice for inverted Vee antennas, beams, large quads, horizontal wire or rotary dipoles.
