[Elecraft] K3 Feature Request

Since it is part of the K3 package, I would like to try six meters. My one and only antenna is an eighty-meter dipole 46 feet above ground fed with poly ladder-line. I'm looking for suggestions for a 100-watt coupler that will tune a balanced-feedline antenna at 50 MHz. I do not have the
