Better yet, we must convince them to make the balanced tuner in a remote
configuration so it can be outside in the elements with 50 ohm coax between
it and the K3.

My BL2 also gets mighty hot on some bands at 100W when feeding ladderline.
Of course the line length can be adjusted, but an external automatic
balanced tuner would be MUCH nicer!  (hint, hint)
