Dragging this slightly away from the topic - I've seen this said
before, so would like some explanation please.
I plan on using a doublet of non-determined resonance with my K3
portable. the arms are 18.3m and fedd with ~ 12m of 300 ohm ribbon (TV
type), supported by a 10m telescopic carbon fibre pole. Arms in an
inverted-V config.
When I used this for the first time with the K3 via a BL2 the other
week, untuned SWR was rather poor - > 20:1, but KAT3 tuned it ok.
I'd be interested to know what people think/do with this when do using
a balan - presumably you just connect one side to the center of a
PL259 and the other to the shell?

And a balun is completely unnecessary in most cases.
