Hello Bill,
The HyGain 204BA is good advice. But around here the stock BN-86 balun is known
as a "fusible link" to us RTTY operators. I blew my fusible link on my HyGain
TH-5DX when chasing a DXpedition on RTTY. I replaced it with the new HyGain
BN-4000 and didn't have any trouble after that.

The 204BA gets my vote also. 20+ years of service with no mechanical
problems except the balun (BN86) ..use a good one..
