The beauty of the Johnson KW Matchbox is that it has an air coil which, for 
most applications, won't saturate like a ferrite core balun (usually 
mispronounced balum, bailin, etc.).  And for those that  think the Matchbox has a 
limited matching range, one might want to compare the specs with those of built-in 
antenna tuners on the modern rigs, hi hi.  But, to be safe, it is best to find 
out the impedance of the antenna for the bands of operation and see if the 
planned tuner will be able to handle it; this is not easy to determine because 
the makers of the tuners rarely talk about the amount of reactive component that 
can be compensated for, they usually only mention the resistive component.  
However, Palstar does mention the reactive component that can be handled.

Enjoy those Drakes.
