AA4LR is using #43 ferrite beads on RG-313 coax. I am not sure what RG-313 is however there should be no ohm meter short unless he is using a hairpin match. Perhaps there is a flaky connection somewhere in his system. I had a lot of RF feedback problems with my K3S when using a corroded station in the Caribbean but no current warnings.

I presume that you disconnected the feeder from the balun when you did
the DC Ohms test? If not, there is something wrong because you should
see almost a dead (DC) short through the primary of the balun.

I must admit I put off replacing my antenna until I was forced to. Might
be the way to go. :-)
