[Elecraft] Balanced solution for KAT500 tuner?

[Adrian]

Just to elaborate that is at the shack transition end , not at the
feedpoint. At the feedpoint there is nothing un that needs to be bal, so no
need for a balun.

 

 

1:1 current balun has proven more efficient in conjunction with the

appropriate balanced (matchbox style)tuner.

Jim...

 

Is there anything to be gained in putting a 1:1 "balanced isolator" at the

feed point of an antenna that is fed by a "parallel wire" feed line? Does

such an arrangement achieve feed line isolation while preserving the ability

of such an antenna to be driven on various bands other than its resonant

frequency? Thanks for your input.
