I'm trying to decide which of the above two high power ant tuners (new) is the
best one to get. I have a TT Omni 6 (opt 1) and an Ameritron 572 amp with
internal QSK. My understanding is the TT amp is a bit more rugged but has the
problem of a reflected power meter that doesn't show swr and output at a
glance. Also, have read about a possible problem with the TT roller inductor
wearing out and a possible problem with capacitor C11 blowing up on 10 meters.
The Palstar is about $100 cheaper. The L-network of the tentec is supposed to
be the most efficient type of matching network but how much does that matter as
a practical concern? Important to me is the ability to switch from one antenna
to another as quickly as possible as I have different wire antennas for the
same band that favor different directions. Wish the TT amp was still made with
a grey cabinet so it would match my Omni 6 but at least it should match it in
shape. Anyway, does anyone have any thoughts or experience that might help me
make this decision.
TT 238B vs. Palstar 1500CV. Thanks.
