super SWR sensitive doesn’t sound like good characteristics for an amp.

I have NOT experienced SWR sensitivity with reasonable antennas that the KPA1500's built-in tuner can't handle. I suspect someone having this problem has not RTFM, which describes how to train the tuner for each antenna for each band, or has not taken the time to do it.

The KPA1500 can memorize settings for three different antennas for each band for each of the two antenna ports.

And I DO get pretty close to 1.5kW on 6M.
