[Elecraft] KAT-500 Power Rating in Bypass

[Michael Tope]

 From the KAT-500 owners manual the power ratings are as follows:

3—30 MHz 600W into 5 Ω to 500 Ω (10:1 SWR).
          1000W into 16 Ω to 150 Ω (3:1 SWR).

1.8-2.0 MHz 600 W into 10 Ω to 500 Ω (5:1 Low Impedance, 10:1 High 
Impedance SWR).

Does anyone know what the power rating is for 160 meters when the tuner 
is in bypass mode?

I would like to put my Alpha 87A in front of the KAT-500 and run the 
KAT-500 in bypass mode on 160 meters at 1500 watts, and then at reduced 
power on the other bands where I am actually using the tuner to match 
the antenna. This is for a remote setup, so it is not convenient to 
physically take the tuner out of amplifier's output path on 160 meters.

Thanks,
