[Elecraft] KAT4

[Charlie T]

Well this MAY be a valid question, since I believe for example, the IC-7300 and/or  IC-7610 have an "emergency" mode where the power is cut back to 50 watts and the allowable tuner's SWR range is extended from its normal full power mismatch capability.
If I remember correctly, its only 3:1 at 100 W, but will match an "emergency" use antenna if you have to.

10: 1 capability DOES put some hefty restraints on an internal tuner.

Charles -

I don't "know" what the power handling capabilities are, but think I can safely assume that if it is in the K4 it can handle the power of the K4. I trust that Wayne, Eric, or someone else who "knows" the answer will chime in when they are able.
