KX2 so not much power. 53 feet of Wireman #534 should tune and radiate on most bands with a KX2, and fit in a sandwich sized baggie. Another chunk for a counterpoise.

Simple.  Maybe not perfect, but simple.

I use a switch tapped air inductor with a variable C on one end. It is an L

always brings the load to within range the ATU in the radio can resolve a match.

Going way back to the original post, it seems to me that there is a simple 
answer:

The OP wants something that is very portable, that the KX2 will tune.

The whole balun discussion comes from trying to match a near-infinite 
impedance, and chopping the wire down a bit (or making it longer) is going to 
bring it to an impedance that the tuner can match.

Lotta folks doing that.
