Default Q about balanced feed line

Sorry, when I read "RF ammeter", I thought only of the old type which
resembles a panel meter and has two terminals to connect in line with a
single conductor. A clamp-on type would indeed do the job, as we
discussed here not long ago.

Wouldn't the clamp-on type ammeter as discussed previously provide that
information (provided a section of twin lead small enough to fit the
clamp were used?

YEP!!

An RF Ammeter will do just fine



Balance requires that the currents in the two wires be equal in
magnitude and opposite in phase (or direction). How do you connect an
RF ammeter to determine this?
