I understand the requirements, and the ICOM IC-7300 puts out 12.5W by default (can be adjusted via service menus). I'm looking for a definitive answer as to the actual radiated power. Like I said, the ICOM AH-4 tuner specifies its actual radiated antenna power but the KAT500 does not so that's why I'm asking.

I am not certain how (or if) that happens with an Icom transceiver, but the KAT500 needs about 20 watts for reliable tuning. That can happen automatically with the K3/K3S/KPA500 combination, but I don't know what the Icom can do to accommodate that same thing. 73, Don W3FPR On 11/6/2017 5:35 PM, E T wrote: > When tuning using a KAT500 from an ICOM via an AH-4 interface what is the > actual radiated power out the antenna?
