Mike, I use enough RG8X to get out of the building my ham shack is in. I
use two parallel lengths terminated with a double banana jack. I plug this
jack in to a double banana receptacle attached to the tuner. When not
using the antenna I plug this jack into a banana receptacle which is
grounded. One length of RG8X center conductor is connected to one side of
the ladder line and the center conductor of the other length is connected
to the remaining side of the ladder line. The braid of these parallel
lengths of RG8X is left floating (not connected to any thing). Works for
me. 73 Leigh KZ5OD
