Well this MAY be a valid question, since I believe for example, the IC-7300 and/or IC-7610 have an "emergency" mode where the power is cut back to 50 watts and the allowable tuner's SWR range is extended from its normal full power mismatch capability. If I remember correctly, its only 3:1 at 100 W, but will match an "emergency" use antenna if you have to.
10: 1 capability DOES put some hefty restraints on an internal tuner. 73, Charlie k3ICH -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net <elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net> On Behalf Of David Bunte Sent: Monday, April 20, 2020 9:03 AM To: Charles Sells <char...@sellsfamily.net> Cc: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KAT4 Charles - I don't "know" what the power handling capabilities are, but think I can safely assume that if it is in the K4 it can handle the power of the K4. I trust that Wayne, Eric, or someone else who "knows" the answer will chime in when they are able. 73 de Dave - K9FN On Mon, Apr 20, 2020 at 8:25 AM Charles Sells <char...@sellsfamily.net> wrote: > I can see from the literature that is on the website that the KAT4 ATU > will handle a 10:1 matching range but don’t see what the power > handling capabilities are. > > Anyone know? > > 73 > Charles > W4PPP > > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email > list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to > dpbu...@gmail.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to pin...@erols.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
