[TenTec] 4229 Tuner Balun Replacement?

[Rick - NJ0IP / DJ0IP]

This sounds like a great concept.
Please keep me in the loop.

To follow this project, please make a new thread, since it doesn't really
pertain to Balun replacement.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it works as perceived!

Overnight I came up with a concept for a single band Link coupled tuner 
made entirely of small coax like RG-6 or RG-58 that could be so simple 
and low cost to construct that the user could build one for each band 
and antenna adjusting the match once and leaving it. Swapping out via a 
BNC connector on the rig side and something like twin banana plugs on 
the twinlead side could a lot faster than dialing in presets on a 
multiband tuner using less commonly available variable capacitors. I 
need to prove the concept works by building some before I say more.
