The long-awaited Palstar HF-AUTO auto-tuner has finally arrived. Hams have enjoyed the benefits of low power auto-tuners for years, but now Palstar takes it to the next level and offers auto-tuning with a power rating of 1 Watt to 1500 watts.
Like all Palstar products the HF-AUTO was designed by Hams for Hams carrying on the Palstar tradition for high-quality products designed and made in the USA. Auto-tuners have been around for years, but most of them use clacking relays and lumped components so that the match is always just a little bit off. Palstar reinvented the auto-tuner with continuously variable components for a perfect match every time, and capped it off with a power rating of 1 Watt to 1500 watts.
Like most Hams you've probably tried tuners made by the "other" guys. If you're ready for a switch to high-quality American Made products the HF-AUTO antenna tuner is the cutting-edge of Palstar technology. When you buy a Palstar tuner you're not just buying a piece of quality equipment - you're buying a product from a Made in the USA manufacturer carrying on the American Ham tradition.
