[TowerTalk] Remote Tuner

[K8RI on TT]

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?
