[Elecraft] FW: KAT500 vs KAT3 Matching Range

[Bill K9YEQ]

More than fair.  If one reads the specs, the KAT500 will handle the load.
If one only operated though the Elecraft amp at 500 watts, the K3 amp would
not be necessary. Just reduce drive.  I don't know how low it detects at
this point.  That spec isn't published.  If it were low enough I might order
one and put it out in the back in my remote cabinet.  Just waiting for more.

Would it be fair to assume that if the KAT3 matches a load sufficiently to
allow the transceiver to put out 100W that the KAT500 would match the same
load safely for 500W?
