thank you for responding,

well, chaning the impedance, you mentioned i thought would be important,
as also i'd like to not have my 'shield' flowing w/rf

That is exactly why I asked. Since you do not want RF on the outer
shield, then instead of a transformer type balun, you may find that
the choke balun or W2DU balun will better serve your needs. It is
designed specifically to reduce the flow of RF on the outer shield.

i've been told it might help reduce 'interference' not sure

Correct!

however i fail to see how my ability or inablity to explain something
equates to 'needing' a particular part or not, hence why i want to
learn if i knew, all the ''angles' and aspects i wouldn't post

i am still missing the info i seek

You were apparently disturbed by my question. However, it has been my
experience that it is very important to find out what is the real
problem, because it is only when you know the real problem you can
hope to find the best answer.

For example, someone asks for a recommendation for a good hammer, and
he gets hundreds of recommendations for good hammers - all different
and all good hammers for something, but none are the best answer for
his needs. Once it is discovered that what he really needs is a good
way to kill chickens - then we tell him to wring their necks.

Do you see my point?

It is truly a shame, but most people do not know how to seek help,
properly. They must forget their idea of a solution and define their
real problem. It is not a natural talent, but is certainly a valuable
one, which earns them better answers, quicker.
