The word is spreading about Palstar’s unique, high-end amateur and shortwave radio products carrying on in the Palstar tradition for products of the highest quality. The American made MW550P tuner is no exception.
The MW550P is an active preselector and antenna matching unit for AM broadcast and 160 m reception. The MW550P will match any antenna (eg. random wire, beverage etc.) to 50 Ohms across the broadcast band. The selectivity can be varied by adjusting the antenna coupling and a 4 kHz bandwidth is achievable. As on all Palstar tuners the front panel and top cover are powdercoated.
