Kintronic Labs is dedicated to providing a high-quality product as well as high-quality customer service, and part of that is factory pre-tuning every system that leaves our facility. KTL recently provided an Antenna Tuning Unit for CBC’s CHAK-AM based in Inuvik, Northwestern Territories. It is installations

like this one that remind us why the pre-tuning is a very important aspect of providing our customers with a great product. Inuvik is over 120 miles north of the Arctic Circle in Canada, so having to tune an ATU in sub-zero temperatures would not be a pleasant experience. The Engineer who installed the ATU reported that it was a plug-and-play situation where the ATU was already pre-tuned to the correct drive impedance and didn’t require any further tuning on site.

CBC Consultant Robert Kowalchuk said, “The CBC were very pleased with the ATU.  I was also happy with the pre-tune as it was in the minus 20 C temperature range during my visit to Inuvik.”

Thanks Robert for your great testimonial!
