Brett, There ARE kilowatt baluns, but the balun probably will not help a G5RV due to the fact it is resonant on 20 as a gain antenna, and somewhat of a mismatch on any other band. In fact, you would be better off running open wire line all the way to a Tee tuner, then using a ferrite bead 1:1

The 756pro has no roofing filters, yet there is little or no AGC pumping when listening to an S2 signal with the DSP filter set to 500hz and a S9 signal is within the 15khz first hardware filter. I'm hoping the K3 can do at least this well without switching in a roofing filter of less than 2.7khz.
