[Elecraft] KAT500 actual radiated power during tuning

My KAT500 [when I still had it] put out variable power levels while it 
was tuning.  When it was tuned, it put out the TUNE power [25 W] into 
the antenna.  More than once, someone called QRZ? after tuning in a 
clear spot.  They probably saw my little signal on a fairly dead band on 
a panadapter.  Is that what you were asking for?

Like I said, the ICOM AH-4 tuner specifies its actual radiated antenna power but the KAT500 does not so that's why I'm asking.
