[Elecraft] KAT500 matching

[Brian Linn]

Does anyone know what the term "matches" means in relation to the phrase
"Matches approx 10:1 SWR at 500-600 W?" 

 

Does it mean: a) that will achieve 1:1 of the antenna is at 10:1, or b) that
will achieve the accepted "match" value of 2:1 when the antenna is at 10:1?

 

Or, stated another way, what is the original mismatch it can tune down to
where the transmitter will see 2:1 (in the 500-600 W range) ?
