MLB-1 from Palomar is probably (I would rate that at 99%) their answer
to the MLB from RF Systems in the Netherlands. I still have the
latter and it has only one connection for the antenna on the top. P.S.
Just checked back Palomar's website and a true 9:1 balun kit is still
available,but it is made for transmitting up to 250W,not for SWL and
does not have any enclosure box. And it is certainly much bigger and
heavier than the old one I originally used for T2FD.

I'm pretty sure the Palomar's been out longer. I've had one for 14
years, drove to Escondido and bought it at the factory.
