Hi Rick,
Did you have the 1:1 near the radio or outside with a piece of coax in
between? I run an extended Zepp, fed with ladder line, hooked directly to
the balanced terminals on my 238B. The only band it gives me a little grief
sometimes is when I am on 40 mtr running about 500 Watt with a Heathkit
SB-200. It makes the phone ring, which is an electronic beast hi..hi. The
regular Bell phone does not have that problem. I never took the time to
play with the feed line length and if/when I do, it will have to wait till
summer.
73, and Happy New Year, Tony VE3DWI.

At this point I will throw in a plug for Ten-Tec.
With my Model 238B and an external 1:1 current balun, I have been able to
match all sorts of openwire antenna systems, though I often must add the
external capacitor on the back. However I run just 600w these days. If
you
run legal power, you will need to replace the high voltage capacitors in
the
238.
