PALSTAR AT5K
Antenna Tuner
"the Rock Crusher"



New: We will beat ANY advertised price of authorized Palstar dealer!

Rumours on the Internet about Palstar's new tuner the "Rock Crusher" had spread even before the AT5K had gone into production. Now rumor is reality and Palstar is shipping the AT5k nick-named the "Rock Crusher." It is destined to become the tuner of choice among Hams who demand the very best and most powerful antenna tuner on the market.

This is the NEW MASSIVE TUNER, the AT5K, aka "Rock Crusher" from top-rated PALSTAR (Palstar.com) made available to YOU on eBay. This is the most powerful antenna tuner every made from Palstar known for it's solid products, designed and made in the USA giving jobs to Americans. I am the Exclusive eBay Distributor for Palstar Products. Please click here: About about me to visit my eBay page.


Palstar's most powerful tuner ever!

The typical unbalanced tuner with a 4:1 balun at the OUTPUT exposes the balun to a wide variety of impedance and reactance that it was never designed to handle.

Palstar's original solution was the AT4K. The AT5K takes power handling to the next level coming in with a rating of 3500 watts single tone continuous performance with low losses & wide Z range. Bands 160m to 15m with limited Z range on 10m. The AT5K provides balanced OUTPUT with high power 5kW TEFLON cable balun at the INPUT of the tuner circuit for excellent balanced feed antenna operation.

Inside the AT5K you'll find massive custom large plate (600 pF) variable capacitors at 6 kV. Equally massive 10 Amp 7 kV CERAMIC body inductor wound with #10ga plated copper wire with silver-plated wheelshaft, contact wheel, and hardware (35uH).

Also, Palstar engineering has incorporated the technology found in our popular WM150 watt meter into this tuner to provide dual cross-needle metering with active peak and peak hold. See below for more technical specifications.

There aren't any revews on the AT5K yet, but The AT4K was reviewed in the Sept 2004 edition of QST or check out the user reviews on eHam.net.
