The MFJ-989C roller inductor tuner is a 3000 watt PEP input, 1500 watt PEP
output antenna tuner. These power ratings are for load impedance's of 35-500
ohms. The MFJ-989C is designed to match 50 ohm output amplifiers,
transmitters or transceivers to virtually any antenna. Peak and average
forward power, reflected power, and SWR are displayed on the MFJ-989C's
illuminated cross-needle meter.

Not when it's dividing the power in half?

The way you wrote the add, it does read like you put 3000w in and get
1500w out.

There wouldn't be a rating for the output power level, either you feed
too much into the input or it's okay.

Surely what you meant was that the tuner can handle a transmitter of a
certain power level, and that power level can either be measured as 3000w
input to its plates or 1500watts output. Which of course isn't two
different power levels, just a different method of measuring the power,
the former with metering inside the rig, the latter with a wattmeter on
the output of the rig.
