[Elecraft] Question on KAT1 Performance

[Kevin F. Glynn]

Seasons Greetings and ho ho ho.

I am purchasing a used K1 with the KAT1 configured for 20 and 40 Meters.  I
would like to use the rig with a center fed dipole and various loops fed
with ladderline while working portable.  I'm thinking about using W2DU
ferrite bead 1:1 choke at the rig's output to the ladderline.  Do you think
the tuner is capable of working efficiently or am I asking too much of it?

I also own the LDG QRP Automatic Antenna Tuner (original model) and could
use that.  Has anyone compared the KAT1 to the LDG QRP Tuner?  Worst case I
could go with my MFJ-901B T tuner.

Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.
