The low range tuners up to 3:1 are very low loss and then can be made
reliable. High range tuner for 1.5KW would be less so.
You may buy MFJ-998 as an extra. I use MFJ-998 with 1.5 KW and a
ladderline-fed dipole for a few years. Only small problems like burnt diode
in SWR circuit or smoked capacitor by the output connector. But it is better
to have such problems outside of the amp.
Another choice is to have an AB switch where the same antenna is connected
to A directly and to B via capacitor that lowers the SWR where otherwise it
is too high.
