[Elecraft] KAT500 actual radiated power during tuning

[Nr4c]

I've trained my KPA500 to remember the solutions at 20 KC increments across each band, starting at 10 KC from bottom. Works well.

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.
