Bob,

I can't explain it.

What I know is that every antenna tuner I've ever own, every one that is 
currently in production, has a 4:1 balun inside.

if what you, rick, and everyone else is saying is right, why then don't the 
manufactures of antenna matching devices (I never liked the term antenna tuners 
as they don't tune the antenna) include 1:1 current balun instead of 4:1 
voltage baluns.

from my cheap POS MFJ tuner in use for camping, to those $3K Palstar units, 
they all come with 4:1 internal baluns.
