Looking for QRP Balun

[Ed Ketterer]

I'm looking for a small 4:1 QRP balun to use with my KX3 (hence, it needs
only 10 watt power capability). Can anyone direct me to a design or an
existing product? Thanks.

Try the BL2 on Elecraft's web page.  I have two of these and they work fine up to 200W.  And they're quite small too.

Ed,

The Elecraft BL1 can be built for either the 4:1 or 1:1 configuration.  
Alternately, the BL2 uses a switch to change from a 1:1 ratio to 4:1.

If that is physically too big for you, use the same design as either the
BL1 or BL2 and wind it on the binocular core used in the K2 PA output
(Elecraft PN E690011) - in that case, the enclosure will be one of your
choosing (I suggest non-metallic to eliminate sneak paths that are not
obvious on casual inspection).

73,
