[TenTec] Palstar tuner

[Jeff]

I have a palstar tuner and as a tuner think it is great. BUT !!! mine the model AT1KP has a really crappy balun. The balun fried at 600 watts and is grossly under sized. To make matters worse the used a 4:1 balun i this model. I contacted Paul about the fried balun and got a silly reply that the tuner will only match 200 ohm loads on the balanced lugs. "what"  Here is the  email replies from Paul. 
t is 200 ohms in balanced mode only as the balun 
is a 4:1 current balun
You also said that you were in balanced 
mode
The other specs are for the coax mode
Regards  Paul
AND
The Z that the balun is looking into must be out of 
the range of the 
200 ohms that is the output Z of the balun 
itself
This is an antenna problem not a balun 
issue

Again love the tuner Just needs some serious improvement's in the balun area.  Jeff N3JBH
