Totally normal, in fact, if you check secondary to primary--will also
show continuity--it is normal too...look at a schematic of a torrid
balun on the net, all windings have some sort of connection to all
others... in a "rf transformer" with seperate primary/secondary there
will be electrical isolation between windings...

Having never wound a balun before, pardon if this is an elementary
question, but...

I recently got a Murch 2000B antenna tuner off eBay. It's a commercial
version of the so-called ultimate transmatch. A T-network design.

For balanced line, it has a "broadband toroidal transformer" according
to the review in a 1980 QST. When I place a VOM multi-meter across the
two balanced line terminals, it shows continuity. Is that normal, or
is the balun cooked or shorted?

Thanks for any info.
