[Elecraft] Balun loss

[Rick Dettinger]

The thread about feedline loss reminded me of a question that I have =
been meaning to ask:  If my K2 is sitting on my wooden bench on its =
rubber (or plastic) feet with no ground wire and powered by battery, is =
the output ballanced or unballanced?  I realize that it is unballanced =
with respect to the common radio ground but not real earth.  Also, while =
I often hear concern expressed about balun losses with high, reactive =
loads,  the first thing I see in a ballanced antenna tuner such as my =
BLT looks alot like a balun wound on a torrid.              73 - Rick    =
