Got a Radio Works choke balun I'd like to use for feeding ladderline out of
an unbalanced tuner.

The balun has coax fittings on each end.

Sounds like it is actually a UNUN.

I can kluge a PL-259 plug onto the ladderline.

That will work. I usually just splice a short piece
of coax to the ladder-line.

Thanks, Cecil. Guess that's what I'll do. I don't think there is any
"graceful" way of going from ladderline to coax.

I THOUGHT the choke baluns are unbalanced to balanced, and will work OK for
the purpose of feeding ladderline. Although they're electrically
symmetrical (unbalanced rf goes in one end, and balanced rf comes out the
other. Flip 'em around and it's the same, either way).

If they're not, I need to know it so I can go to another kind.

I was half joking. A choke can often function equally well
as a UNUN or a BALUN. A W2DU choke, for instance, doesn't
"know" whether it is in a balanced or unbalanced environment.

Guys, please help me here. You are talking about UNUNs and BALUNs.
A balanced tuner OUTPUT to ladderline is BALANCED TO BALANCED , isn't
it? Why the need for anything, there?

My sincere appologies to this thread group. I read that original post
twice and still missed that the tuner was unbalanced output. Makes a
lot more sense, now.
