Lee Here is something that works really well if you have the KAT2 ATU in your K2. Put a 4:1 balun on one antenna port and a 1:1 balun on the other. Using something like banana plugs and jacks, you can quickly move the feeder from one balun to the other. Now as you go from band to band, you can quickly pick the balun that gives the best match before tuning with the ATU. That way it doesn't have to work as hard to give you a great match.
See you on the air for FD.

I have the KAT100 as well...and I want to put up a 130 foot dipole with that ladder line stuff. Hey, its only for 24 hours. To use the KAT100, I have a 4:1 balun (a 4KW job). Can I use that with the KAT100 and the open line feeder? What are all you guys doing?
