Jeff,
Find a Dentron Super Super Tuner and be "done" with tuner problems. The SST
can be found for a fair price and it is built like a BATTLESHIP.

Subject: Re: [TenTec] Palstar tuner
I have a palstar tuner and as a tuner think it is great. BUT !!! mine the
model AT1KP has a really crappy balun. The balun fried at 600 watts and is
grossly under sized. To make matters worse the used a 4:1 balun i this
model. I contacted Paul about the fried balun and got a silly reply that the
tuner will only match 200 ohm loads on the balanced lugs. "what" Here is the
email replies from Paul.
t is 200 ohms in balanced mode only as the balun
is a 4:1 current balun
You also said that you were in balanced
mode
The other specs are for the coax mode
Regards Paul
AND
The Z that the balun is looking into must be out of
the range of the
200 ohms that is the output Z of the balun
itself
This is an antenna problem not a balun
issue
R Paul
Again love the tuner Just needs some serious improvement's in the balun
area. Jeff N3JBH
