Palstar AT2K Review
When my Palstar AT2k arrived purchased from from Martyn Lynch and was shipped via Interlink to my QTH in Boston. NO problem, it was packed carefully and arrived safely. This is an excellent tuner. Top quality in every respect. Made like a tank but looks great at the same time. I love the feel of the controls, so smooth this atu is worth every penny. Construction and design is superb.
The Palstar AT2K matches dipoles, center fed doublets, Verticals, end-fed wire, delta loops, beams, Windoms, Inverted V's and includes a built-in 4:1 current balun for balanced wire feeders.
The Palstar AT2K features a 6 position ceramic wafer antenna selector switch. Forward power metering is in two ranges, 300 and 3000 watts. A Peak/Peak Hold metering function is also provided. Standing Wave Ratio measurements are displayed with an illuminated cross-needle meter. SWR is read directly from the meter face where the Forward and Reverse needles cross.?
To use the 160metre band a 12 volt supply at 200 milliamps is required, which plugs in the back of the Palstar AT2k tuner. Would i recommend this tuner to my fellow Hams? YES definetly would.
