Mark,

Maximum power is 500 watts continuous or 1kW PEP. Matching range is 
16.7~150 ohms. Insertion loss less 0.5dB. It was designed to 
conveniently and quickly match a number of antenna systems fed with 
coax. When used as an accessory with the appropriate Icom radios, it 
would automatically band switch and tune. I have spec sheets and 
probably manual here if you need it since I wrote it which is not to say 
I know so much about it.
