[Elecraft] Balun Question

[Tom Hammond]

Hi Jimmy:

The Neither the K2 nor either of the ATUs made for the K2 (KAT2 or KAT100) 
are designed to handle a banalced feed system such as that you have.

In order to connect your balanced feed to an UNbalanced output (such as 
that available from the K2/KAT2/KAT100, you will probably have to proceed 
as you have stated below... Ant > balanced feeder > balun > coax > K2.
