I just looked at the 5KW choke balun on the MyAntennas site. I like the fact
that they show the choking impedance. Not so with most of the other providers.
I looked for the choking impedance data on the DXE baluns and could not find
it. I guess I could call them and find out.
The last two choke baluns I installed, I made myself from Jim's cookbook. I
know what the choing impedance is and it cost much less than buying
one.............
