More than fair. If one reads the specs, the KAT500 will handle the load. If one only operated though the Elecraft amp at 500 watts, the K3 amp would not be necessary. Just reduce drive. I don't know how low it detects at this point. That spec isn't published. If it were low enough I might order one and put it out in the back in my remote cabinet. Just waiting for more.
