>You will notice that the maximum power transfer efficiency

>Hrivnak of Palstar; he did a very good job in component
>value selection. Plus, his tuner has a fixed C which can
>be switched in as needed when the output C is already
>at max capacitance. This occurs when the transmission
>line Z at the tuner output terminal is low; like, maybe under
>25 ohms or so. The variables in the Palstar are 350 pf, 6kv and
>he added C is also a fixed 350 pf, 7.5kv
>
/\ The sticky wicket is that the design is high-pass.
