AT4K in operation

American Made T-Matching
Network Tuner

The word is spreading about Palstar’s unique, high-end products and the AT4K is no exception. The AT4K tuner carries on in the Palstar tradition for high quality, affordable products designed by Hams for Hams. The American made AT4K is an impedance matching network that fills the void for a matching network that can provide unbalanced/balanced output. This is a one-of-a-kind unique dual-function high-power tuner in the American Ham tradition. Sometimes referred to by Palstar aficionados as "the MOTHER of all tuners!"

The Benefits of a Balanced/Unbalanced Tuner

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.

The solution: the AT4K. The AT4K T-matching network utilizes a 1:1 unbalanced-to-balanced transformer in the INPUT of the network. When the network is properly tuned, a 50 ohm impedance will be presented both to the input and output of the balun, which allows it to properly perform its important transformation job.
