Re: Node 0 and NTL

["happy_hammer66" <bill.mcmahon@xxxxxxx>]

A balun does what it say's, converts a BALanced impedance to an 
UNbalanced impedance. The most common unbalanced impedance being the 
co-ax cable as used in the CATV network.

So its not a balun thats been fitted, i assume that its a passive 
device so its more likely to be some type of noise filter.
