Hi Lou,

The tuner can match a wider range (about 5:1) at reduced power, and this can automatically be handled in the amp thanks to a switchable input attenuator. The behavior of the tuner/attenuator in the presence of high SWR can be specified by the user.

An SWR range of 3:1 max is a reasonable full-legal-limit criteria for many operators (including our focus group) when using an internal ATU. This is typical of the case where nominally matched antennas are used on each band.
