[Elecraft] K2, KAT2 and displaced choke balun feed

[Brett gazdzinski]

I have a homebrew G5RV, about 105 feet long, up 40 feet, fed with
home made open wire line (#12 wire), into about 25 feet of RG214, 
then to the station control (multi antenna's, transmitters, receivers,etc.)
and into the K2. No baluns.

The tuner tunes it great on all bands, highest swr is 1.3:1.

I don't have the 160 meter option, might not work on that...
