Most of the tuners I see today use a 4:1 Balun to go from unbalanced to
balanced.
For a remote tuner wouldn't it make more sense and be more efficient to
use a tapped coil, probably in a "T" arrangement and no balun to the
open wire?
IOW run the coax up the tower to the remote tuner. Tap the coax across a
coil (rotary inductor) and use variable L and C to get a match to the
balanced line?
