Bill;
K4SAV mentioned that obtaining ferrite cores is sometimes a problem. Are you
running high power thus the need for RG213? I only run 100w and am using a
clamp-on ferrite (mix 31) per K9YC's paper. I use a Fair Rite P/N 0431173551
which allows me to loop 6 turns of RG8X through the internal 0.75" opening.
These are available from Newark as their P/N 96B5352 The cost is $5.28 each and
there is no min order with Newark.

The choke balun will work (depending on how much impedance you really
need). There are some advantages to using a ferrite core, but
obtaining the core(s) is sometimes a problem.
