Erik,
The KAT500 relies on the transceiver power being reduced when tuning.
I am not certain how (or if) that happens with an Icom transceiver, but
the KAT500 needs about 20 watts for reliable tuning.
That can happen automatically with the K3/K3S/KPA500 combination, but I
don't know what the Icom can do to accommodate that same thing.

When tuning using a KAT500 from an ICOM via an AH-4 interface what is the
actual radiated power out the antenna? I was reading that ICOM's AH-4 tuner
itself takes the input power and splits it into an internal dummy load and only
radiates something like 300mW out the antenna, is the KAT500 comparable?
