In most applications there should be 2 RF chokes.  The first RF choke 
should be at the antenna feed point, and a 2nd RF choke at the radio.  I 
find that Jim, K9YC has done excellent work in this regard.   This is a 
case where many hams and balun companies only go at the problem "half 
baked".    Thus if one is using a balun at the top side, one needs to be 
used at the bottom side as well.  In this case the word "balun" is 
implying a 1:1 RF choke.
