[Elecraft] KPA500: SWR protection

[jkhooper at rockisland.com]

Hi everyone, 

Am I understanding KPA500 specs correctly?    It looks like if I were to get a KPA500 and loaded it up inadvertently on an antenna with an SWR on the high side, the KPA500 would protect me from my error by reducing power and/or faulting?     

Does this mean that the KPA500 is close to "fool proof" in protecting itself from errors that I might make?    Heaven only knows that I make enough as it is !     A different take on the same question is whether I could postpone a KAT500 purchase until later.   

Thanks in advance.
