For balanced line, it has a "broadband toroidal transformer" according

is the balun cooked or shorted?

It's probably a 4:1 voltage balun which does exhibit
a DC short. That's actually good for cutting down on
static electricity.

Thanks, Cecil, I noticed a more up-to-date MFJ tuner doesn't show
continuity across the balanced line terminals; just wanted to make
sure the Murch balun wasn't whacked out.
