Hi Steve
You will enjoy using the T1.
It works best if not feed an endfed half wave.
Just how long are your wire antennas?

vertical as a nearly halfwave top loaded vertical

With end fed wires you will not need a balun and very likely will not

Probably the reason the hi-res version hasn't been put on line may be
