Vic,
From what I have heard, the KAT500 will handle 1500 watts, but at an
SWR of only 3:1 - that is the same as the ATU in the KPA1500 can handle.
At lower power (its rated power of 500 watts) the KPA500 will tune a
10:1 SWR.

I am using an older Palstar AT-Auto automatic tuner. It has a coil and
capacitor operated by stepper motors. When it works, it's fine; but it
requires a lot of maintenance and fiddling. What I need is something
that works as well as the KAT3 in my K3; quick, trouble-free, and good
for a 10:1 SWR on HF.
Oh yes, it has to handle 1.5 kW, too.
If Elecraft would beef up the KAT500 to meet the above specs, I'd buy one.
