Scott,
Been using a tuner built by N4XM (XMATCH) for the last couple of years.
No problem (no arcing etc) running 1500 watts from 87a on 160.

Subject: [TowerTalk] 160m Antenna Tuner Recommendation?
>I have a 160m inverted vee fed with 75 ohm CATV. Minimum SWR is 1.9:1
> which isn't too far from expected given the 75 ohm cable. I've decided to
> just use a tuner for now, to get me QRV on top band (for the first time in
> my life). I will maybe improve this situation later by feeding the vee

> Unfortunately, with only about 1kw, my Dentron "Super Super Tuner" starts
