AN IMPORTANT WORD ABOUT POWER LEVELS

The KT-100 is rated at 125 watts maximum power input at most. Many ham transmitters and
transceivers, and virtually all amplifiers, output well over 125 watts. Power levels that
significantly exceed specifications will definitely damage or destroy your KT-100. If your tuner
fails during overload, it could also damage your transmitter or transceiver. Be sure to observe the
specified power limitations.

Important Safety Warning

Never install antennas or transmission lines over or near power lines. You can be
seriously injured or killed if any part of the antenna, support or transmission line
touches a power line. Always follow this antenna safety rule: the distance to the
nearest power line should be at least twice the length of the longest antenna,
transmission line or support dimension.

Note: When using the KT-100 with TS-480 HX (200 watt radio), the TS-480HX will only transmit 100
watts. The TS-480HX is programmed by Kenwood to limit the power to 100 watts when an external tuner
is detected. LDG recommends the AT-200 Pro for use with the TS-480HX, so that the full 200 watts may
be realized.
