Comparison of T1-K and KAT2

m0bmn
Hi

I have a K2 with its ATU and the T1, and I must say that the K2’s built in
ATU works great for me, I have a half size windom that needs a ATU on any
freq below 40m and the K2’s ATU can match it on top band without problem.
The T1 gets a decent match on Topband and a good match on 80, I also have
the K1 with its ATU and that works great even with a short wire on 40 and up
but with a 80m card fitted it can only get me a 2:1 match on 80m, if I turn
it off and use the T1 I get a near 1:1 match.

For my money the built in ATU for the K2 is the best internal ATU I have
found, I also have a FT1000 MK5 and that just about gets a match on 80 and
doesn’t like topband at all. But on the positive side it does make a great
door stop!

 

All the best

Paul
