Ok, some of what you said I have seen before. Makes sense.
You know the term balun is just too loose of a term and covers a lot of ground
and leaves it open for miss interpretation.
Choke is a good descriptor. Make a choke out of coax cable just wrapped
around a plastic 5 lbs coffee can sounds pretty good.
Balun Isolator describes what you want to make or do but covers some ground as
well.
I do not know about every one else, but the balun discussion sure has helped me
out in understanding what I am doing now, what I have done in the past that
did not work very well, and what worked in the past and did not know why it
ever did.
These isolators, from what I have seen is working for me. What I have all so
seen was with multiple antennas on a single switch is that one antenna has more
RFI than another and I need to add an isolator of some sort to be put on that
antenna before it goes to the switch. I have one choke isolator at the antenna
tuner and I finally saw what antenna was giving me a problem. Just amazing to
see something that works the way it is suppose to. Before I did that, I could
not tell which one or all of them were giving me problems.
