Tom, I think the way Steve mentioned is the way to go. I run about 12 feet
of coax
from a Palstar 2 K tuner out to a balun outside then to the open 450 line to
ainverted V which works good. this way it gets the open feeders away from
the op. I melted the internal balun in my tuner so I am not sure they will
handle the full power like the coax side. 73 Ed K7UC
