Wow. Now, the light comes on. I haven't had any experience with
current baluns (except with consumer grade cheap TV/FM tuner front
ends) and didn't recognize the name or understand how they worked.
Thanks for the very nice, clear, and detailed explanation. (I can't
even find anything in your explanation to complain about).
