[Elecraft] KPA1500 Tuner Question for the Group

[Ed Pflueger]

I use the Palstar HF-Auto for 80 and 160.  The Tuner in the KPA1500 works
great on my Hy-gain 6 meter, TH11, and Hy-Tower and it only has to teak just
a hair but normally I just leave the tuner in By-Pass mode and the HF-Auto
turns into an antenna switch.  Probably the best I've ever had are the Ten
Tec 238 series of tuners.  I should have kept the last one but I didn't.  It
also had the Balun for twin lead built in as well.  In my Man Cave in the
garage I have the KPA500/KAT500 combo and they work the same antennas just
fine.

Since the tuner built in to the KPA1500 is not able to handle the full power
of the amp at a 10:1 SWR (like the KAT/KPA500 Combo), what tuner(s) are you
using if you need that kind of matching capability (i.e.: for balanced feed,
etc.)?
