Hi Mike,

I have a pair of KAT500's in my SO2R station. They're currently fed by a pair of 87As, and before that, a pair of TenTec Titans. Both are legal limit amps using the same tubes. My antennas are all close enough to resonance that I can use the tuners in bypass mode and use the amplifier's output network to keep the tubes happy.  I have an LP100A inline with both amps, and, for legal limit contests, I keep the power right there. The KAT500s are happy with that arrangement. They were NOT happy in Man mode above about 1 kW, and the level at which they got unhappy was reduced increased mismatch.

73, Jim K9YC

Does anyone know what the power rating is for 160 meters when the tuner is in bypass mode?
