Thanks to Jay and Joe for the Alternate Zo suggestion. It certainly
gives the revised SWR curve I was expecting.
I would also like to know the new impedance after the transformation,
which the SWR graph does not provide the data at the bottom is always
for the 50ohm plot and not the 200ohm plot.
Is there a way to get this additional information? If not I will
investigate the second of Joe's suggestions.

Why not just use Alternate SWR Zo = 200 Ohms? That will give you the
50 Ohm SWR after the 4:1 "balun" assuming the balun is a broadband
current balun.
Otherwise, you can use a second short wire, move your source to it,
and place a *1:4 transformer* between that wire and the location of
your original source.

I am using Pro/2 v 7.0.
I have been through the EZNEC help and the test drive around the
track, but the examples are all more complex than I am looking for so
I am having trouble getting to the basics.
I would like to model a variation of a centre fed dipole (over a wide
frequency range) that has a 4:1 balun at its feed point. Is there an
example anywhere I could use to copy from?
Currently I am just using a straight wire with the source at 50%
along. Can I develop from this or do I have to split it into two
separate wires?
I am mainly interested in the impedance transformation to the 50 ohm
feedline coax.
Any help would be appreciated.
