Description
Heavy duty 4:1 tuner balun utilizing stacked cores to provide a very high power rating across all HF frequencies. Constructed using our enhanced design with Teflon tubing over heavy build Thermaleze insulated wire.
If you are building a true windom (sometimes called a Carolina Windom) with a vertical coaxial radiator (not an OCF dipole) or need to replace the 4:1 balun at the center of an original windom, this balun is an excellent choice and will pass the RF signal to the vertical radiating coax. This model should NOT be used for the modern version Off Center Fed dipole that has no vertical coaxial radiator. Instead, use the model 4116et or Model 4115ocf for best current balance and excellent RF choking impedance.
Specifications
