Default dipole and balun question

RB wrote:

Some questions about a 140' dipole fed with ladderline from an unbalanced
tuner to work 160-10m:

1. Does it matter if the balun is placed on the tuner output, or at the
dipole center feedpoint?


Run the ladder line directly into the feedpoint from the tuner. The
balun is in your tuner.


2. Which type of balun (voltage/current) would be best for
centerfeedpoint
use?



4. What ratio balun would be optimal for either application?



The one in your tuner will suffice.
