Hi John,

The "Center Feeded Dipole" (feeding with twin-leads) would give you better
performances and no TVI.

But if you prefer the G5RV do not use any balun (with magnetic stuff). In
somme cases, baluns brings losses (if high SWR on the line). You may find
many people that will say that their G5RV works perfectly well with a balun
..... they are lucky !!!
It is better to connect the coax directly to your antenna tuner.

Good luck

The G5RV antenna can be found by googling. Anyone using this arrangement.
It uses a coax feed to balanced feed (which variously acts as radiating
elements, depending on the band). The author says a balun is not needed
but then describes an RF choke that sounds a lot like a balun. I am also
concerned about TVI with this system.
