About Plastic Tuning Tool ?

[Daniel]

Someone was talking about a $3.00 plastic tuning tool for his amp.
What is it and what do you do with it. Where do you get it?


Anyone know?

Little plastic alan wrench. Usually used it to turn the input tuning slugs for lowest input SWR. Sometimes you can find the right size in the tv repair toolkits that radio shack used to have. Usually you can find the right size at an electronics shop or even ebay.

Is there a way to tune a KL-503 P amp to give a better SWR reading. I would be interest in learning that if it is possible.
