Palstar AT2K 2000 Watt Antenna Tuners
Palstar AT2K 2000 Watt Antenna Tuners are the upgrade to the classic AT1500CV tuner, featuring a newly designed, smaller roller inductor, which allows the AT2K to tune 6 Meters. Newly designed capacitors with lower minimum capacitance improve high band performance, while maximum capacitance has been increased to 400pF for better low band performance. The AT2K features a 6 position antenna selector switch. In addition, the Peak/Peak Hold metering from the PM2000A has been incorporated into the AT2K. Forward power metering is in two ranges, 300 and 3,000 watts. Standing Wave Ratio measurements are displayed with this illuminated cross-needle meter. SWR is read directly from the meter face where the Forward and Reverse needles cross. The AT2K matches dipoles, center fed doublets, Verticals, end-fed wire, delta loops, beams, Windoms, Inverted Vees, and many more antenna types. With a chassis made of 11 ga. (.090 in. thick), iridite-treated aluminum, and a durable powdercoated finish on the front panel and top cover, you can have a tuner that will grace your shack for years to come. One eHam.net user wrote about the AT2K, "This is a tuner for life, buy one and you will not be disappointed." Palstar AT2K tuners feature: --Impedance range 20 to 1,500 ohms from 160 to 6 meters (assuming resistive load) --Low minimum custom variable capacitors, 15pF to 400pF at 4.5 kV --26 uH 5 kV ceramic body roller inductor with turns counter --Silver plated inductor wheel shaft and contact wheel Note: For additional information, please look at the files under the "Documentation" tab. Palstar AT2K 2000 Watt Antenna Tuners are destined to become a ham favorite from DX Engineering!

mAT TUNER mAT-1500PROII Automatic Antenna Tuners
mAT TUNER mAT-1500PROII Automatic Antenna Tuners are multi-purpose high power tuners that can match almost any transmitter and amplifier. Providing Frequency coverage from 1.8 to 30MHz and with two antenna outputs, the mAT-1500PROII also provides antenna switching. Depending on how cables are connected, the tuner will operate in three modes: Icom, Yaesu or General, General mode also allows for remote operation of the tuner. The front panel has a 4.3 inch high resolution display that provides information as to the current operating mode, forward power in both PEP and Average power, with a bar scale that can show three ranges: 15W, 150W, and 1500W; in addition to the power output the antenna system SWR is also shown along with current toggleable settings such as antenna output selection, PTT status, which of the four buttons (LUP, LDN,CUP or CDN) was pressed last, and finally the current status of the tuner. The front panel also has 6 additional buttons for controlling if the PTT signal is passed from the tuner to an amplifier (effectively putting the amplifier in bypass), an online button which controls the tuner being in an online or bypass state, a Tune button which starts a tuning cycle when the tuner is in General mode, a range button which changes the displayed scale of the RF indicator on the display, an antenna select button which allows for changing the antenna jack that is used on the tuner, and finally, a power and screen background setting which allows for tuner power to be cycled in General mode as well as the screen brightness and background color to be changed (if the tuner is in Yaesu or Icom mode, the power function of this button is not used.) The rear panel features 3 SO-239 jacks, one for RF In, and two antenna connections. a ground lug and a handful of connection ports for interfacing with the radio. If the user wants the tuner to follow the frequency of the radio with no additional input, the user can connect the appropriate control cable (sold separately) to the radio and the Icom/Kenwood or Yaesu jacks on the back of the tuner. In these modes, the tuner will receive power from the radio and will power up with the radio and not require a dedicated power connection. In general mode, a connection to the DC in jack is required. A PTT in and Out jack both allow for the transceiver to send a PTT signal to the tuner and for the tuner to pass that PTT signal on to the amplifier. Additional Feature and Specifications: Frequency Coverage: 1.8 to 30 MHz Power Rating: 1500W(SSB), 800W(Data) Tuning Power: 5-15W Tuning Time: < 8 seconds (Programmed), 0.1 seconds (from pre-saved frequencies in memory) Operating Temperature: 14° F - 140° F Frequency memories: 16,000 Power Requirements: 12-14VDC, 2.0A Dimensions: 11.420"x9.567"x3.071" (H x L x W) Weight: 7.72 pounds

CG Antenna CG-3000 Remote Automatic Antenna Tuner
CG Antenna CG-3000 Remote Automatic Antenna Tuner is an affordable outdoor weatherproof tuner for long wires, verticals, dipoles and other Amateur, MARS or CAP operations between 1.6 to 30MHz. Like the well-known legacy SG-230, this tuner is primarily intended to feed wire antennas or monopoles. The antenna wire connects to the high voltage standoff insulator stud. A UHF female SO-239 connects the station coax and a ground stud may be used for a counterpoise or an earth ground. The tuner has an impedance range of 12 to 1000 ohms with a maximum power handling of 200 watts PEP in SSB mode and 40 watts for FT8 operation. The minimum required antenna length is 8 ft. (2.5m) for frequencies above 6 MHz, and at least 26 ft. (8m) for 1.8 MHz and up. With a small fiberglass pole and some wire, a good all-band antenna can be constructed within minutes. The CG-3000 Remote Automatic Antenna Tuner is automatically activated with a low power carrier. Low SWR tuning results are stored in non-volatile memory and new tuning attempts on similar frequencies are amazingly fast. The CG-3000 uses a Pi network design which has the advantage (as compared to L networks) of providing low-pass filtering to reduce spurious emissions. The tuner has a 4-pin connector on the bottom panel for the included 16 ft. Control Cable to supply the required 13.8 VDC at 2A (power supply not included). An additional control cable is not required. The solid plastic clamshell case protects the tuner in all-weather outdoor use. Attached brackets and 2.16 in. (55mm) width U-bolts and hardware are included. An optional CG Antennas CG-CTU Control Unit offers an ON/OFF power switch and a TUNE button, both with LED indicators and a 32.8 ft. (10M) control cable. The CG-CTU includes a 4-pin tuner interface and power connection for Icom transceivers. The CG-3000/CG-CTU combination works with all other transceivers with the included connector cable that serves as a power supply DC cable. CG Antennas CG-3000 Remote Automatic Antenna Tuner Specifications: Supported Bands: 160m, 80m, 40m, 30m, 20m, 17m, 15m, 12m, 10m. Max. Power [W]: 200 W Impedance Range: 12- 1000 Ohm Enclosure: Black waterproof plastic Supply Voltage: 13.8 VDC via included 16.5 ft. (5m) Control Cable Dimensions (WHD): 9.450 x 14.370 x 2.953 in. (240 x 365 x 75 mm) Weight: 2.98 lbs. (1.352 kg)

Offering 160 through 6 meter band coverage and up to 2,000 watts PEP power handling, simply put, AT2KD's are the highest quality differential-T antenna tuner on the market! Palstar AT2KD tuners have two impedance-matching controls, with a 6:1 Vernier reduction drive for capacitor tuning with precision and accuracy, and a turns counter indexed inductor crank handle to facilitate coarse tuning adjustments. Using a T-type circuit configuration, with an innovative dual-stator differential variable capacitor design, operation is simplified by reducing the number of knobs and eliminating false peaks while tuning. This design fits into in a more compact case that takes up less room. AT2KD tuners feature a precision roller inductor with a steatite ceramic core for excellent power handling and a wide tuning range. With a rugged 3 kV, 6-position selector switch, AT2KD tuners offer unbalanced tuned and bypass outputs for two antennas. A third unbalanced tuned output may be used on any antenna, even with an external balun for balanced line feeders. Also, one bypass output may be used for direct connection to another antenna or dummy load. The input and output connectors are SO-239 (UHF female) connectors. Palstar AT2KD tuners features a new LED backlit peak and peak hold and a dual-movement cross needle power and SWR meter, with a frequency-compensated coupler and a 2-position 300 W/3000 W power range selector. Built into an attractive case, AT2KD front panels and top covers are powdercoated and their chassis are made with 11 ga. (0.090 in.) iridite-treated aluminum. A 12 Vdc power connector and cable are provided for the meter circuit for each tuner.
