Kev and all,
A voltage "balun" can be tapped to produce a wide range of impedance
transformation possibilities, but the voltage balun will have no effect
on the problem of RF on the outside of the coax shield.
The modern consensus is that only common mode chokes should be used on
the feedline. They should have enough inductance at the frequency of
interest to keep the RF off the outside of the coax.
See the works published by Jim Brown K9YC for a thorough discussion of
RFI and "baluns" (common mode RF Chokes) for use in the amateur
community - http://audiosystemsgroup.com/RFI-Ham.pdf.

Can a BALUN be tapped maybe? It seems it would extend the range of
internally antenna tuners also. I should know this stuff. But I don't.
