[Elecraft] Update Re: ladderline and balun question

[goldtr8 at charter.net]

Just an update on my progress so I can share what I have learned.

So as stuff was disconnected, I for some reason put one snap on choke on 
the power leads to the K3, and when in TX using the dummy load it buzzed 
like crazy.

I took one #31 ferrite snap on and put 7 turns on it and RF seemed to go 
away.

So I connected the antennas and everyting worked better than before when 
I had the 1:1 balun.

Plus 160m works now the tuner is happy, the amp is happy.

So I am going to say another lesson learned.  I am going to say this is 
another lesson learned.

Too bad I learn the hard way.

Thank you to eveyone who offered suggestions as my next step was 
removing the 4:1 and putting the 1:1 back in.

Again this list is great as I have received great suggestions and am 
also getting help offline from the reflector on modeling the antennas.

Cheers
Don
