IMHO it is a pity that the KPA500 does not have two output ports (well
isolated), one to connect to an antenna, or a remote ATU, and /or antenna
selector switches -  the second output port to connect to a dummy load.  I
have been considering various linears capable of 500W - 1KW for use in the
not too distant future.

Over the years I have found it very useful to be able to switch on the fly
the output of a linear (and of an exciter) to a dummy load as a check should
some gremlin appear during the heat of battle.
