The KPA1500 tuner can be bypassed with a front panel button. Tuners in 
older SPE amps could not, but newer ones can. As I recall, the SPE amp I 
had for a short time burned almost 1 dB into pretty well matched loads. 
The KPA1500 is a bit more efficient, at least with my antennas.

The KPA1500 senses frequency VERY quickly and recalls stored/trained 
settings.
