In this case, it wasn’t RG-213, but RG-303. The author regrets the error.

 Not wishing to pick a fight, but he said that he is using a balun rated at 1KW.

 What you describe is a common mode choke and as I'm sure you know, that is not 
a transformer which is what I described.

 I can see Jim's frustration. Folks really need to get to grips and properly 
understand the terms they are using, otherwise we get into meaningless 
arguments and false advice.

 RG213 is a commonly used co-axial cable:

 AA4LR is using #43 ferrite beads on RG-313 coax. I am not sure what  RG-313 is 
however there should be no ohm meter short unless he is  using a hairpin match. 
 Perhaps there is a flaky connection somewhere  in his system.  I had a lot of 
RF feedback problems with my K3S when  using a corroded station in the 
Caribbean but no current warnings.

 I presume that you disconnected the feeder from the balun when you did
 the DC Ohms test? If not, there is something wrong because you should
 see almost a dead (DC) short through the primary of the balun.

 I must admit I put off replacing my antenna until I was forced to. Might
 be the way to go. :-)
