[Amps] 200-ohm tank and "un-un" in HF amp design?

[Carl]

All 3 of the Command Tech amps 1/2/3 tubes used a single toroid switched for 
40, 80, and 160 followed by the balun. It was the switched pi net toroid 
that caused problems.
On the 6M amp they also use a balun.

When Palstar bought the line they went to 3 seperate toroids and kept the 
balun.

Ive worked on several of all models from both companies and havent had a 
balun problem but none were used for RTTY that Im aware of.
