[Elecraft] KAT500 actual radiated power during tuning

[Don Wilhelm]

Erik,

The KAT500 relies on the transceiver power being reduced when tuning.
I am not certain how (or if) that happens with an Icom transceiver, but 
the KAT500 needs about 20 watts for reliable tuning.
That can happen automatically with the K3/K3S/KPA500 combination, but I 
don't know what the Icom can do to accommodate that same thing.

I was reading that ICOM's AH-4 tuner itself takes the input power and splits it into an internal dummy load and only radiates something like 300mW out the antenna, is the KAT500 comparable?
