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
Gary
 
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.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
