[Elecraft] KAT500 actual radiated power during tuning

[E T]

I can get and hook up a power meter, still looking for a definitive answer maybe from Wayne and Eric.  If it puts out the full tuning power that is going into it (e.g. 10-20W) then I want to shift away from any signals I’m trying to tune to (rude to step on conversations), but if it’s using a low power like a RigExpert that would most likely not interfere then you get better accuracy…

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.
