Ideal balun for home brew G5RV long wire antennas. For the G5RV-ES 300 or 450 Ohm Ladder Line Adaptor, the maximum power rating varies depending on the specific antenna configuration it is integrated into, but the standard industry ratings for this component are as follows:
Power Handling Rating - Standard Rating 500 Watts PEP (found in most standard Moonraker G5RV 300 ohm feedline kits like the FSS or HSP models).
Deluxe/High Power Rating - Up to 1000 Watts PEP (typically when used with 450-ohm ladder line and higher-grade wire, as seen in the HSX series).
Continuous Duty (CW/Data) - Generally recommended at 100W–200W to prevent heat build-up in the internal connections or arcing across the SO-239 insulator under high SWR conditions.
Key Features/Specifications:
- SO239 End line socket
- For use with 300 or 450 Ohm ladder line
