[TenTec] Ten Tec 253 Question

[Rick - DJ0IP / NJ0IP]

That does not mean it can match 2KW "no matter what".
2KW is ambiguous.
You must also read the specs on the matching range.
Almost all matchboxes have a clause in their instructions stating that if
you near either of the impedance limits, you must reduce power.

The manual states  RF Power Rating:  2KW Maximum
