Default ladderline to coax adapter


Got a Radio Works choke balun I'd like to use for feeding ladderline
out of an unbalanced tuner.


I'm sure others here will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that
what you want to do is a very bad idea. Baluns are not meant to operate
under the potential very high SWR conditions you are likely to have on the
output of your tuner. Damage to the balun is likely. Besides, what is the
point of a balun on your tuner's output if you are using ladderline,
anyway?
