*Jim, In VK you will pay that for a pretty dumb LDG auto-tuner with a single antenna connection and more for a manual Palstar. Given the almost equal exchange rate the KAT-500 not only represents value for money (not a phrase I would use in a sentence with MFJ in it) it offers great versatility a

I would expect that this would depend not only on the SWR, but on the nature of the impedance it sees. Unless someone from Elecraft told you this, I wouldn't risk running 1500 watts at 3:1 SWR (if Elecraft DID tell you this, then I'm ordering one)! On 5/19/2012 11:41 AM, N5GE wrote: > I will >

I've never owned a MFJ tuner capable of handling its "rated" power for anything over a 1.5 SWR (and then you get into arguments about PEP vs CW vs Continuous Carrier). They all burn out with even a slight mismatch. Since I'm not trying to tune a dummy load, I'll go with something that can handle
