The KAT-500 utility shows C Values from 8 to 1360 pf ( ~2600 max ) and L 
values from 50 to 9000 nH ( ~18000 max ).. I assume that is what is in 
the hardware.

Currently, the KAT3 is capable of achieving a match on all bands using my open-wire fed 160-meter dipole, with some help from a 4:1 balun.  I believe both tuners are T-matches, but I don't have enough information to judge whether the KAT500 will achieve the same matches that the KAT3 will.
