MFJ offers six window-mounted feed through panels for such.
Their numbers are 4600-4605. MFJ-4600 has four balanced
and two coaxial feed-throughs.
Oh, I haven't seen a 4:1 balun that is worth what it costs to ship to your
door that sells for less than $139. I've gone through three brands lately.
If one doesn't know what magnitude of impedance is
being encountered by the balun, the best balun
solution is a husky 1:1 current (choke) balun, not
a 4:1 voltage balun which is designed to deal with
200 ohms, not 2000+j2000 ohms.
