[Elecraft] KPA1500 Tuner Question for the Group

To my knowledge the best (only?) auto-tuner capable of handling legal 
limit is the HF Auto, which is rated at 18800 watts....  Don't remember 
the duty cycle spec.
However, AFTER making my way through the learning curve on it and the 
software available 3rd party, I have to say, it is simply awesome.

Of course, I don't think it will do 10:1 either....  Can't imagine the 
monster tuner (likely manual) that you'd have to build to handle 10:1 at 
1500Watss, 100% duty cycle...

73,
