KAT 500 Throughput power limits

Robert Sands
If I run my 1500 watt linear through the KAT 500 in  "bypass" mode for a
low SWR antenna, is there a current or power limit to the throughput? I
understand the limit if the tuner is used so I would have to be careful or
exceed the power rating if in "manual" or "auto" mode. Seems like bypass
might be 5KW
