Robert,

The matching range should be similar to that of the K3 ATU.  The actual 
range can only be correctly expressed in terms of the inductance and 
capacitance ranges and the number of steps for each - the SWR that 
produces will vary from band to and will be least on the low frequencies 
and greatest on the higher bands.
