Take another look at DX Engineering's baluns. Balun Designs are not the balun

I haven't evaluated current production DXE chokes, but I did measure a
Balun Designs 1:1 unit that looking NOTHING like it's data sheet. It was
a lousy choke. It is unlikely to overheat, but it's also unlikely to do
anything useful except transfer dollars from the purchaser to the
seller. They're pretty, but that's all.
Unless you happen to have more money than time, I strongly recommend
building your own following the guidelines in the 2018 version of my
Cookbook. If Tim would send me stuff to measure, I would gladly do it.
