Jim:
I use 6 baluns in my antennas. Most have been changed over from white
platsic pipe contained baluns(which often go bad in 1 year) to Balun Design
produced
- http://www.balundesigns.com - models. They've worked fine for 18 months.
They are all current baluns. Can't remember the rationale . Asked this
question a
long, long time ago. Call and talk to Balun design he is very helpful. You
probably want
his model #4125 which is a 4:1 5kw.

I'm rebuilding a KT34XA and installing the KT36 upgrade kit plus new style
boom to element clamps. Right now I plan to use the new 3KW balun I got from
M2. Is there something better out there I should consider? I believe Balun
Designs makes excellent high quality products that work.

The KT-36 is 200 ohms feed point impedance. Not 50 ohms. I though I better
clarify.

Which balun do you recommend for the M2 KT36? A voltage balun or a current
balun? I run 1500 watts during RTTY contests.
I'm planning on winding my own. I have Jerry Sevick's book on building them.
Thanks!
