Tom, thanks for this.

Actually, I do not think it OT.  My KAT100 is an unbalanced coupling 
unit, and my antenna is as described, so I am looking to match it 
properly!  At present I have a 4:1 balun (relieved from duty at the font 
end of an HF LPDA) connecting the 450 ohm feeder to a short length of 
coax to the K2/KAT100.  I have been told that this is not a very good 
set-up especially for 160 metres.

I have been reading transmission line and antenna coupling unit theory, 
but nothing beats theory plus practical knowledge which you seem to possess.
