Note: These adjustments control the calibration and accuracy
of the AT2K metering. Do not adjust unless you are sure the
metering is inaccurate, and you have accurate test equipment
to check against.
Note: The adjustment pots on your meter board may differ in
appearance from the photograph

Building on success, Palstar has
upgraded the best-selling AT-
1500CV throughout to create
the American-made Palstar
AT2K Antenna Tuner.
The AT2K optimizes the per-
formance of your antenna and
transmitter by providing adjust-
able impedance matching using
a T-type circuit configuration.
The AT2K also measures the
power (upgraded to include a
PEAK/PEAK HOLD function)
and Voltage Standing Wave
Ratio (VSWR or SWR) which
allows you to tune the SWR to
the lowest ratio possible for the
selected transmission fre-
quency.
The AT2K also features a preci-
sion steatite ceramic core roller
inductor with a silver plated
roller wheel and roller shaft. It’s
new, smaller size permits opera-
tion on 6 meters.
A high voltage ceramic wafer
switch allows selection between
coax feedlines or wire-fed an-
tennas. DIRECT switch posi-
tions bypass the impedance
matching circuit but allow for the
SWR, FORWARD, and RE-
FLECTED and PEAK power
meter FUNCTIONS.
Tuning is achieved with the front
panel mounted controls. The 6:1
ratio Vernier dials allow for tun-
ing with precision and accuracy,
while the Inductor crank handle
facilitates coarse adjustments.
The range of the meter
(300W/3000W) is selected by a
push button switch located on
the front panel.
