Not wishing to pick a fight, but he said that he is using a balun rated
at 1KW.
What you describe is a common mode choke and as I'm sure you know, that
is not a transformer which is what I described.
I can see Jim's frustration. Folks really need to get to grips and
properly understand the terms they are using, otherwise we get into
meaningless arguments and false advice.
RG213 is a commonly used co-axial cable:

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Issue with HI CUR on 12m
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. :-)
