An external 4:1 balun is typically less lossy than the built in 4:1 baluns.
Better still, use the W5YR idea, a bead ferrite choke on the coax output,
then connect there with a coax to binding post adapter for balanced line,
and you eliminate questions about your balun.
An alternate is to use a coax cable choke on a plastic Coke bottle, (liter
bottle) for form.
