Looking to purchase a tuner for a dipole, also my cb antenna. Will these Palstar tuners work good for 11 meter also?
Thanks.
 

The BT1500A (BT=Balanced Tuner)This tuner is a "Double L" configuration.
This tuner is NOT made to use coax for feedline from tuner to antenna.
Yes 50 ohm coaxial input but only Balanced Line output.
I own one, works Very well on my Phased Doublet Array on 80-15 meters bands.
This is the second Palstar tuner I have owned. I had the AT4K before this(y), sold it to buy the BT1500A.
My other tuner is built using components and case from DENTRON MT2000A tuner.
I modified that to use balanced line only also, which most of my low band antennas use.
(except Ground planes/and rotating beams)
So just my thoughts.
All the Best

Howler: Depends on couple things also.
Antenna type(s).(?)
Highest Power level of operation
Mode(s)? AM/Digital operation requires, heavier grade equipment than SSB
Budget?
Tuning range(?) this goes back to antenna type, and how far out of resonance, types of feedline etc.
