Jim I use the dual balun from Elecraft. I switch between 1:1 and 4:1 to see which one gives the lowest swr on the band I'm on. Then let the ATU tune it for the final match. I do the checking with the ATU in CAL S so I can see the unmatched swr right from the balun. Then I switch the ATU in and let'er rip. Good luck and 73 Bob N6WG
