Hi Roy, Richard,

Perhaps it is because of the naming convention vs. application.

The term more appropriate to the Topic is RF Choke rather than BalUn
(which performs the choking action by implication, and could easily
fail that implication if the incorrect BalUn design is chosen).
Further, as you have noted in past correspondence Roy, a second Choke
(not BalUn) is often required for these VHF/UHF applications to
completely isolate the line.
