I've got a kt34a and a kt34xa I'm refurbing.  The klm supplied baluns while
identical in appearance have a significant weight difference, 8.5 oz vs 14
ozs.  Being the inquisitive sort what makes the difference?  Also what is
the groups opinion on these baluns vs some other replacement?


Also the klm antennas have got to be the hardest ones to refurb of the
major manufacturers.  The antioxidant stuff used makes the joints just
about impossible to separate and it seems to attack the aluminum.  This is
the copper colored stuff.  Mosley antennas for comparison still telescope
apart easily with the gray stuff used on them..
