The Palstar AT5K-HP Antenna Tuner is an American-made impedance

matching network that can provide unbalanced and balanced ouput

with a power rating of 3500 watts (single tone carrier) and 5000 watts

PEP at certain Z ranges.

Tuning is achieved with the front panel mounted controls. The Vernier

capacitor dials allow for tuning withprecision and accuracy, while the

inductor crank handle facilitates coarse adjustments.
