From the KAT-500 owners manual the power ratings are as follows:
3—30 MHz 600W into 5 Ω to 500 Ω (10:1 SWR).
1000W into 16 Ω to 150 Ω (3:1 SWR).
1.8-2.0 MHz 600 W into 10 Ω to 500 Ω (5:1 Low Impedance, 10:1 High
Impedance SWR).
Does anyone know what the power rating is for 160 meters when the tuner
is in bypass mode?
I would like to put my Alpha 87A in front of the KAT-500 and run the
KAT-500 in bypass mode on 160 meters at 1500 watts, and then at reduced
power on the other bands where I am actually using the tuner to match
the antenna. This is for a remote setup, so it is not convenient to
physically take the tuner out of amplifier's output path on 160 meters.
Thanks,
Mike W4EF...............
