A couple of points.

If you believe that an SWR of >3 necessarily degrades the efficiency of an antenna, you are simply wrong.

If the "tuner" components have to be derated to this extent then perhaps it should be called a line flattener rather than a tuner because a lot of guys are still going to need a tuner.

The KPA1500 tuner range is fine. If your antennas have >3:1 SWR you need
to do some work outside. It will help your signal much more than the amp.
Even when I operated the RTTY Roundup in January after an ice storm my
antennas were within this amplifiers SWR range.

Not enough full power tuner range.
