The voltage or current can be as bad as the 1:1 voltage or current multiplied
by the square root of SWR – NOT multiplied by directly by SWR. So voltage or
current at a 6:1 SWR could be as bad as about 2.5 times the 1:1 SWR voltage or
current, and at 10:1 SWR a little over three times the 1:1 S

Subject: [Elecraft] KAT500 Matching Range & Power Limits
Hello,
I'm trying to understand what the KAT500 power limits mean in real
life. If I am tuning an antenna that initially shows a very high SWR (say
14:1), and I am using high power (say 1000 watts out),

I think you are confusing the power handling capability of a tuner with
it's ability to match a non-50 ohm load. A tuner may be able to match a
highly reactive load at low power, but be totally unable to handle the
same load at higher power levels. The match involves selecting the
appro
Hello,
I'm trying to understand what the KAT500 power limits mean in real
life. If I am tuning an antenna that initially shows a very high SWR (say
14:1), and I am using high power (say 1000 watts out), the KAT500 is going
to open up the PTT line, and the tuning operation will take place with
