Termination Resistor

vtr600 (41K)

Typical Application

  • Rhombic antenna terminating resistor, H.F. frequency, band 2-30MHz

Features

  • Lightweight
  • Lightning protection
  • Minimum mainenance
  • Designed to meet environmental conditions

Description

The VTR-600 termination resistor is comprised of passive components used to terminate a 600-ohm antenna while dissipating the power applied to the system.

The VTR-600 will terminate a 600-ohm antenna through the H.F. band of 2MHz to 30MHz.

The VTR-600 will dissipate 1KW of power at CW continuously for one hour and 500W continuously for extended operations.
