- Palstar builds great tuners. I love my AT5K. However, I also have an original TT 238. The difference is a Pi (In the Palstar) vs an L (in the TenTec) configuration. The problem with the Pi is that it

- That is my understanding, as well. I believe the better setting on the Pi network, i.e., Palstar, tuner is to pick the one with the highest Output capacitor setting, and lowest Input capacitor settin

- Well, I suppose one could run the input capacitor to minimum and adjust only the output capacitor and the coil to get a match, nearly an L match, But that's only for the case when the load Z is highe

- The capacitors being more sensitive is a hint at higher Q and so higher loss. There are frequencies where the un-un would work better turned to raise the impedance. That 4:1 impedance also means the
