[SADXA] Acom 600S info

[Jim Henderson]

    It does not seem to, according to one European site review it 
'tolerates' 3:1 SWR w/o a tuner, although the output folds back.

    My 87A has no tuner either. But only need one on LF because my vertical 
is rather reactive. For HF where the antennas are mostly flat, the 600S is 
an appealing backup. Especially since it is also
instant on. I rarely use full 1500W anyway.

    The KPA still is the benchmark, but the devices in the Acom are 
allegedly much more robust.

    But for me, if it is not rated for steady QSK, the 600S is out of the 
race...
