KAT3 Question

[louroux]

Will the KAT3 have similar specs as the KAT100, specifically will it
match 10:1 SWR loads?

Thanks,

Lou - W6UR

Yes. But the maximum load SWR that can be handled will depend on the
power level, just as with other tuners. At 10 watts, the tuner will
match even some 20:1 loads. At 100 watts, it's likely to be 2:1.

I know it won't match 10:1 loads on 6M, as it was described previously as
"limited" on this band. I'd like to know what SWR load range the tuner CAN
match on 6M. 3:1 would be useful...

Does the 2:1 capability at 100W output also apply to 6M? If not, what will
it match on 6M at 100W?

At what SWR does the protection (automatic power reduction) kick in? Is this
different on different bands? What about 6M? (Do I sound like a broken
record?)

PS - I don't think I've ever seen any other tuner advertisement/brochure etc
that owns up to the fact that SWR and power combine to limit the ability of
the tuner to match a load. Though this is obvious to anybody who understands
what SWR is, it probably isn't at all obvious to the majority of hams. Kudos
for being technically honest!
