KAT100 w/external PA's

[Hans Bonnesen]

The term “can easily handle from 200mW to 100 watts” suggests that even more than 100 watts is permissible.
Does that indicate that even 200 watts from a Palomar TX5300A could be handled by the KAT100 ?

Hans,

The KAT100 probably can handle more than 100 watts.
BUT it needs the K2 to tell it to tune, report the power and SWR,
control the correct relays when changing bands or antennas, etc.
In other words, it must connect to the control lines in the K2 AUX IO
connector and communicate with the K2 MCU.  It is not a stand-alone tuner.

The KAT500 *can* be used as a standalone tuner.
