[Elecraft] auto tuners

With the KAT500 you need at least 20w for a proper tune at this time, I
really don't think anyone would want to tune with 100w that cared anything
about their equipment. Not needed or useful in any way.

 I understand tuning with an auto tuner... it must see some SMALL amount of
power to actually tune itself.   What I DON'T understand, so I am looking
for a whole lot of help here.... Why would someone want to tune up with FULL
power, when a little does the job?   Isn't that generally and specifically
called malicous interference?  Also using more power than is neededto
communicate? Yes.. you are communicating.. with your tuner! Not the guy on
the other side of the world...at least not while tuning.  So.. help me out
here... please?
