Brian,
I don't know the exact answer, but there is nothing wrong with a 2:1 SWR
since the KPA500 will work into that load easily. However I would
expect it to match to 1.2 or better
The range will be more limited at lower frequencies - that is just the
way the math works for matching networks although the smallest step size
is important at high frequencies.
