K3/100 maximum pwer ATu

[Ai4PF]

Hi: Just installed ATU. Everything works fine, but wondering if it will
take 120W without damage to the ATU, which is rated in the literature
for only 100W?

I would hope the ATU can handle what the radio can put out.

Even though the radio will put out more than 100 watts the resultant output
is not clean, so you need to be aware you could be putting out a dirty
signal.

Reduce the output to 100 watts.

It is conservatively rated, and can easily handle 120 W. We'll clarify
this in the KAT3 manual and specs.
