[Elecraft] Looking for Auto-Balanced Tuner

I thought of feeding the coax inputs of two small tuners (like the MFJ16010)
from the output of a 1:1 balun (like the BL1). Use banana plugs to connect
the balun output to the center pin of the input coax connector. Connect the
tuner grounds together and - presto - a balanced tuner!  This may work with
two auto tuners also - assuming that each tuner is set to the same L/C
settings to maintain balance.

I am still wishing for a truly balanced auto tuner with one set of
capacitors and two sets of inductors.
