Yes, it does - in general, 600 W into 10:1 SWR, 1000 W into 3:1 SWR 
(except 500 W into 5:1 SWR from 30 to 60 MHz.  This is ICAS with equal 
time on and off, 5 min max at full power.  See manual for details.

I am using a KAT500 routinely with the K3/100, and on occasion, the 
AL-80a, which can produce 600W CW or 1000 W SSB peak.  No problems so far.
