Yes, that is incorrect. I was not aware that was there and we will delete it
from the web page. The Manual should be correct. The QST review also had the
correct specs, I believe.

You must mean KAT500, and I don't think so. At least I wouldn't try it.
I think it will handle anything the KPA500 will make [~700W

So 1500W may be in the it works for me category instead of supported.

This would be nice for my station. I don't have huge swr issues. I'd
just like to flatten the swr on my 40m yagi or 80m delta loop while
bouncing around contesting or dxing.

Its important to understand that KAT500 operation outside of the
specified power limits is not covered by the warranty should something
get damaged. We set these specifications with some safety margin to
assure that the ATU will not become damaged in normal operation.
While it may work at
Hello Eric
So the web page saying 1200 to 1500 would not be correct? I would only run
the amp at 1000 anyway, but just making sure before I buy one.
Thanks
Gerald.

Hi all,
I just put together a KAT500 and would like to be sure of this last step of
supplying power to it.
I'm have the 18AWG Rg Angle cable shipped with it which plugs into the
11-15 VDC on the back of the KAT500. However, I'm not exactly sure if I
have the right power for it. My power supply
It's not that critical. Just 11 to 14 volts or so at an ampere max. The
positive is the center of the coaxial DC power connector.

Yea, I meant KAT500. Ok I saw it would do 1000 at 3-1 but was curious about
1500.
Thanks

I suspect that the power handling is not really dependent on the SWR, but rather on the
nature of the impedance that gives rise to that SWR (the resistance and both the magnitude
and the sign of the reactance).
One antenna system showing a 3:1 SWR might produce high voltages and low currents

Yes, for SWR of about 3:1 or better, it's good for USA legal limit. I'm
running two KAT500s with Ten Tec Titan 425 legal limit amps into
antennas that don't need a lot of tuning.
Thank you all. I think I will make a call to elecraft tomorrow. But Mr.
Brown is running legal limit fine. Ok just wanted to ask.
Thanks All
