Hi, question about power through tuner, how much power do you allow through it. It should be Max 20 watt.
Yes, but I use it with 40 W, no problem . Tune at lower power.
I have a question about the tuner and amplifier. The tuner is only rated for 20 Watts, so do you just tune the antenna then power on the amplifier?
Hi Gordon, yes, tune with amp off, then on. Actually, the tuner has 500 V capacitors and coils large enough to take 40 or 50 W.
