How do you select a good choke balun from amongst all the others.

I roll my own. I have 8 FB-77-5621 cores over a piece
of RG-400 in series with an FT-240-61 with ten turns of
RG-400. The latter comes in a ~$10 balun kit from Amidon.

===========================================

Ten or more turns of twin, 18 awg, stranded, speaker cable is even
better.

Easier to make and has higher choke impedance and lower loss.

I don't know why you mess about with coax.
