The combination of affordable pricing and high quality construction and performance made this the tuner of choice for many Hams making the switch to Palstar from other amateur radio manufacturers. Now, in line with Palstar's policy of continual improvement, the AT1500CV has become the AT2K.NEW FEATURES in the AT2K Antenna TunerA newly-designed, smaller roller inductor allows the AT2K to tune 6 Meters, while a relay-switched toroid adds the extra inductance needed for 160 Meter coverage. Newly designed capacitors feature lower minimum capacitance for improved high band performance, while maximum capacitance has been increased to 400pF for better low band performance. In addition, the Peak/Peak Hold metering from the PM2000 has been incorporated into the AT2K.The AT2K matches dipoles, center fed doublets, G5RV's balanced feeders, Verticals, single wire, delta loops, beams, Windoms, Inverted V's and includes a built-in 4:1 balun for balanced wire feeders. Also featured on the AT2K is a bypass position for quick straight-through antenna connections with SWR/POWER monitoring.The 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.The AT2K comes with our classic Vernier dial plates for more accurate settings. As on all Palstar tuners, the front panel and top cover have powder-coat paint.One eHam.net user wrote about the AT1500CV, the AT2K's previous version: "the Palstar AT1500cv is one QUALITY built tuner and worth every penny...all tuners should be made like this one."Click here for eHam.net independent product reviews on the Palstar AT1500CV.Specifications Power rating 2000 watts pep Impedance range 20 to 1500 Ohm 160M to 10M (assuming resistive load) Ferrite 4:1current balun Low minimum custom variable capacitors (15pf to 400pf at 4.5 kV) 18 uH 5 kV ceramic body roller inductor Silver plated inductor wheel shaft and contact wheel 10 uH relay switched add-on inductor for 160 Meters Cross-needle metering with backlighting (wall transformer included) Powdercoated front panel and top cover Dimensions: 5" H x 14.5" W x 13.5" D Weight: 17 lbs CE approved Note: Palstar now builds the AT2K with grey and red buttons and this item is not exactly as pictured.
