Note
The Palstar AT5K-HP is a high-power antenna tuner and impedance matching network designed and manufactured in Piqua, Ohio, USA. It is a "T" matching circuit designed to handle significant power levels, supporting up to 3500 watts single tone carrier and 5000 watts PEP SSB. It is essentially the AT5K tuner without the balun and built-in metering.
Features
– Two 600 pF variable capacitors rated at 6 kV.
– A 28 μH roller inductor with a 10 amp / 5 kV rating, featuring a silver-plated shaft and wheel.
Specifications
– Frequency Coverage: 1.8 to 54 MHz (160m to 6m bands).
– Impedance Range: 8 to 2000 Ω for 160m to 10m (assuming resistive load).
Power Caution: Reduce power for lower Z-range.
