I haven't evaluated current production DXE chokes, but I did measure a 
Balun Designs 1:1 unit that looking NOTHING like it's data sheet. It was 
a lousy choke. It is unlikely to overheat, but it's also unlikely to do 
anything useful except transfer dollars from the purchaser to the 
seller. They're pretty, but that's all.

Unless you happen to have more money than time, I strongly recommend 
building your own following the guidelines in the 2018 version of my 
Cookbook. If Tim would send me stuff to measure, I would gladly do it.
