[Elecraft] how did I calculate the loss?

You would need a balaun to connect the KAT2 to the line, so it's 
important to calculate the impedance at this point for all the bands 
(160, 80, 40, 30, I presume) that would be seen at this point and verify 
that it is not out of range for the balun to operate efficiently.
