[TowerTalk] Eliminating Balun on TH-11DX

[TexasRF--- via TowerTalk]

Bob, likely someone has done that but why would you want to?
 
If you do make the substitution, be aware that part of the tuning on the  
TH11DX include the leads between the balun terminals and the antenna 
terminals.  You would want to replicate that part of the antenna. Same gauge 
insulation  covered wires, same spacing and same length.
 
It probably would suffice to strip the end of the coax back enough to equal 
 the length of the original wires and apply some liquid vinyl tape to keep 
water  out of the coax. 
 
Nothing is simple is it?

Has  anyone ever eliminated the Balun on the HY-Gain TH-11DX and just used 
an RF  Choke made of windings of  coax?
