Terry, to answer your question, that ground connection simply ensures the
balun pcb and the outer shield of the coax cable feeding the balun remain at
a low RF potential, even if you feed a fairly high impedance load.
You are correct to connect them to the A and B terminals. Either wire to
Your operation is similar to one I encounter when operating from our RV.
A balun has several primary and in may cases mutiple functions. Some,
all or none may be contained in the specific balun design:
(a) operation between a balanced and an unbalanced circuit. Hence BalUn
