Default ladderline to coax adapter

Why are you using a choke at that point in the system? You should use
either a 1:1 or 4:1 current balun ...

A properly designed choke performs the function of a
balun very well - witness the W2DU choke-balun. If
the common-mode currents are choked off in the coax
direction, they must necessarily flow in the ladder-
line direction.
