FT240-43 Torriod based on the W1JR design

This form of choke is referred to as an Inline-Isolation Balun. Design is quite simple. 70cm of RG-142 high power coax coiled 8 times round a FT240-43 Toroid housed in a waterproof box and potted with Polyester resin. Termination is a chassis-mount SO-239 on opposite ends of the box.

Balun is tested with full UK power limit due to power restrictions; under perfect 1:1 SWR conditions the FT-240 can handle 1KW of power.

In-line Isolation Balun consists of

  • 10cm x 10cm x 5cm UV resistant Box
  • 1 x FT240-43 Torriod core
  • RG-142 high power Teflon Coax or similar
  • 2 x SO-239 Chassis Mounted Sockets
  • All fixing hardware stainless steel
  • Potted for 100% WX proofing
  • Feed at lowest band, E.G. 20m

Steve G3TXQ has done a lot of research on the use of different types of cores and air cored ferrites, the results can be seen on the chart below. For a link direct to his page please click here

The two types I refer to within this site are the 8T RG58 on FT240-43 but substituting the RG58 for RG142. Also the 6 x FB-31-1020 on RG213. There are many other ways listed on Steve's list below and more info can be found on his site.
