Best of the best  Time owned: 0 to 3 months
I have two Johnson matchboxes, a Dentron Super Super Tuner, a Swan and a MFJ antenna tuner. My antenna is a 160 meter one wavelength loop fed with balanced line. I purchased the Palstar AT1500BAL for 160 meters. I now have all my other tuners for sale. I thought the Johnson matchbox was the best balanced line tuner until I tried the Palstar. I now use the Palstar for all bands, it is the best of the best.

very very nice  Time owned: 3 to 6 months
well i have built a homebrew version of this tuner and used it with great sucess. when i saw these were being sold i just had to have one. and i am greatly surprised . this unit is built very nicely and is very capable of matching a wide range of loads. i have never been more pleased with a product i had to buy. i would buy another in a heartbeat if i needed it.

Top Of The Line Twin Inductor Balanced Tuner  Time owned: 0 to 3 months
Brand new from Palstar. Just received mine. If you are looking for the best balanced line dual inductor tuner, this is it. It uses a 1:1 Ferrite INPUT current balun and a true balanced L-network output. Total inductance of 44uH for extended impedance range on 160m (2500+/-J2500). Ball bearing roller inductors and vernier drive on this quality unit. Power rating is 1500 watts pep. The tuner is a joy to use, a high quality well engineered piece of equipment and a must for those using balanced lines. See Palstar website for more technical details.
