[Elecraft] BL2 w/Multi-Band Dipole

[David Dietrich]

Hello Everyone!

I am planning on building a multi-band dipole fed with 450 Ohm ladder line soon.  I have a K1 & K2, both with the ATU's installed, and the BL2 switchable balun.  I was wondering if I could connect the balun directly to the back of the K1/K2 when I use this antenna?  My other option would be to use one of my 18" foot RG8X jumpers between the rig and the balun.  I know someone here has done it, or at least knows whether this will work or not.  I am also posting this question to QRP-L, so I apologize if you see this message twice.

Thanks ES 73,
