I've looked at several commercial G5RV's and most seem to lack a balun
when the coax is connected to the 450 Ohm ladder line. I would suspect
a 4:1 balun at the coax to ladder line connection would make for a
better operating antenna or perhaps running the ladder line into the
shack here to the 4:1 balun built into my tuner. Though the normal
length of the ladder line coming off the G5RV may not be long enough
to reach my tuner, much less the problem of keeping it away from the
aluminum siding, tower etc. Would my best bet be to get a 4:1 balun
and feed that one end with coax and the other end with the ladder
line of the G5RV ?

Any input appreciated.

Thanks in advance !
