Its best to use a balun, but you can go straight from one to the other like AudioShockwav shows. You can also get antenna tuners that have said balun and parallel feedlline outputs built in, and their are also link-coupled antenna tuners as well. Its actually primarily the domain of hobbyists that use said devices, although mostly on the ham side where they need to tune a single antenna to multiple different ham bands across the HF spectrum. Using such a device for a single band antenna such as for CB radio really is counter productive, not that it can't be done... I think there is a brand of antenna tuners specifically designed to work on the CB band, and won't work anywhere else... I'll have to dig around and see if I can find them again...
