Well, at least with the Astron stuff the specs are the specs and the 
model number is the model number. The model number is sort of related to 
the specs. But look at some of the antenna tuners which have 
specifications, in writing, of 1500 watts. Most of these would only 
handle 1500 watts if the SWR was already so low that you didn't need a 
tuner anyway.
