[Elecraft] Re: KAT3 Question

[Bill W5WVO]

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!
