Palomar Engineers have a "Balun Kit" that is basically Ferrite Beads that you
slip over your coax and some heat shrink that you use to keep them in place.
$16.50 for the RG-8 one.
What is your take on these, Jim? Enough Ferrite Bead? Seemed to work OK for
me up to 40 Meters.

For about $20 in toroids, you can BUILD a choke balun that is VASTLY
superior to anything you can buy for less than $100. The only choke balun
worth buying is made by DX Engineering, and they are big, heavy, and cost
about $130. They are EXCELLENT, but FAR too heavy to use at the feedpoint of
my dipole. :)
