Comet CBL-2500 - New High Power 2.5 KiloWatt 1:1 Balun
This new model in the Comet range, the CBL-2500 replaces the CBL-2000. Comet has strengthened the case on this range of baluns, with high power, very hard and durable construction should provide many years of service! The CBL2500 handles up to 2.5Kw PEP and the frequency range extends from HF to 6m, overall 1.8 - 56MHz.
1:1 Balun (The Choke)
The most common balun. It does not change the impedance; it simply ensures that the RF current on the two sides of a balanced antenna is equal and prevents "common mode" current from flowing back down the outside of your coax.
- Best for: Centre-fed Dipoles, Inverted-Vs, and Yagi antennas that naturally have an impedance near 50 Ohm.
- Function: Prevents the coax shield from becoming part of the antenna, which reduces RFI (interference) in your shack.
Specifications:
- Ratio: 1:1
- Frequency: 1.8 - 56 MHz
- Power: 2.5 kW PEP (SSB), 500 watts Data Modes
- Impedance: 50 ohms
- Connection: SO239 socket
