Oooopss----I meant coax fed.


If you're really going to feed the antenna with coax, why do you need
a balun? Just run the coax straight to your tuner coax connection.

You're losses on various bands may be pretty high with coax. That's
why most all-banders are fed with ladderline. Losses are lower. But
that's your choice.
