what is a MLB
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

It stands for Magnetic Longwire Balun. Its really not a balun ,
rather it is more of a transformer to match the impedance of the
antenna to that of the radio......... roughly 50-60ohms. Its usually
a torroidal magnet with 2 windings, a primary and a secondary.
They work very well for their intended purposes. They are 35-45$
but are worth it IMO. Do a google search for them and read all
about them.
