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.
