What is a big deal is using the KPA1500 on 60m unless you're using a dummy
load or paper clip for an antenna. "The 60 meter band has special
restrictions including the restriction of radiated power relative to the
gain of a half-wavelength dipole antenna which is 100 watts PEP." We need
to keep 60m, not loose it due to abusing its power limit.
The KPA1500 tuner can achieve solutions beyond VSWR's of 3:1, but only if
running reduced power. See page 18 of the Rev B manual for the VSWR vs.
power curve.
