For those at Dayton (KAT500)

The price as I was just informed when I ordered via phone was $699
assembled....I don't remember the un-assembled price but I think it was in
the low $600s. A bit steep for a tuner...but I'm betting it'll be worth it!!

Re: For those at Dayton (KAT500)

With a street price of $300 for the MFJ-994B and $330 for the LDG AT600 Pro, that's a pretty steep premium to keep the station all Elecraft.

Re: For those at Dayton (KAT500)

The AT-1000ProII is $539 at HRO....pretty close and I bet the KAT500 will be
very comparable.
My order was #3 btw...

Re: For those at Dayton (KAT500)

In reply to this post by Rob May-2

I agree the price is a bit higher than I would have liked to have seen.
I am sure it will work far better than the MFJ and I don't think either
will handle the full output on 6m which the KAT500 will do or so I was
told. I smoked my LDG the other day on 6m because I forgot they are
only rated for half power on 6m.

Hi All

I just ordered my KAT-500 over the phone [(831) 763-4211], Price is 699.99
assembled plus shipping.

I hope everyone enjoys their new toys purchased at Dayton.

Re: For those at Dayton (KAT500)

In reply to this post by w0mu

I've never owned a MFJ tuner capable of handling its "rated" power for
anything over a 1.5 SWR (and then you get into arguments about PEP vs CW vs
Continuous Carrier). They all burn out with even a slight mismatch. Since
I'm not trying to tune a dummy load, I'll go with something that can handle
500 watts full carrier into a bad mismatch. That's the reason I bought a
manual Palstar tuner for use with my KPA500 -- and it has served me well,
but is a manual tuner.

I have faith that Elecraft will meet the performance criteria. I have zero
faith, based on long bitter experience, that MFJ can.

In reply to this post by Fred Bennett N9TA-2

The LDG AT-1000ProII is on a "Dayton" sale at Gigaparts for $459 with free shipping through Monday, the 21st. (Must be ordered on-line) I just posted this since there were $539 prices being mentioned on the reflector.

The KAT500 at $699 is quite a bit higher. Also, shipping to the East Cost via Priority Mail adds another $27 to the total. ( A difference of $267 for me - That's a considerable difference for me)

I have not seen the official specifications for the KAT500 so it's difficult to compare. are any specs available somewhere? The 6 meter power handling spec was mentioned but I can't understand exactly why you would even use a tuner on a 6 meter beam if it were properly adjusted. Does the KAT500 have an antenna switch with separate memories for each?

I also see a few reviews of the AT-600 being used with the KPA500 without issue. That one is $140 less than the AT-1000ProII.

You might consider the size of the KAT500 before you consider another Auto
tuner. The KAT500 has the same footprint as the K3 and KPA500 and the height is
less that 2 inches tall which will allow it to sit on top of either one. I will
handle 10:1 SWR at 500 - 600 watts and 1200 to 1500 watts at 3:1 SWR. It has
THREE antenna outputs that are selected on the front panel.

And it will be fully integrated into the 'K line', which means fewer
'buttons' to press, easier operations.

Re: For those at Dayton (KAT500)

In reply to this post by N5GE-2

I would expect that this would depend not only on the SWR, but on the nature of the
impedance it sees. Unless someone from Elecraft told you this, I wouldn't risk running
1500 watts at 3:1 SWR (if Elecraft DID tell you this, then I'm ordering one)!

Oops, wrong again! I see that they make the claim that it will handle 1200-1500 watts on
the website. But I suspect you have to be very careful!

Re: For those at Dayton (KAT500)

You bet, Vic. Just read the reviews of antenna tuners in QST, with
careful attention to the amount of power absorbed in the tuner at some
load impedance/reactance combinations, and imagine 600 watts being
dissipated inside a 500-watt tuner.

Understand that most of the tuners evaluates in QST were "T" section
tuners. The high pass "T" network can become pathological with some
values - particularly if the series capacitors have excessive Xc
(are too small). The KAT-500 is an L-network tuner which generally
has much lower currents, thus less loss and less heating.

In spite of its modest height, the KAT-500 has some truly massive
inductors for a tuner rates at 600 Watts. I'm not concerned that the
claim of 3:1 or somewhat higher for 1000 Watts is excessive and will
be seriously considering the KAT-500 as a "line flattener" if/when I
put the Quadras back on-line.

You've GOT to be kidding. It's a bargain at this price. That's the cost
of the Ten Tec MANUAL tuner! I ordered three.

Re: For those at Dayton (KAT500)

*Jim,

In VK you will pay that for a pretty dumb LDG auto-tuner with a single
antenna connection and more for a manual Palstar.

Given the almost equal exchange rate the KAT-500 not only represents value
for money (not a phrase I would use in a sentence with MFJ in it) it offers
great versatility and quality built right into it.

I don't see any quality competition out there.

Just my two cents worth, keep the change!

Re: For those at Dayton (KAT500)

In reply to this post by Dave Agsten

> The LDG AT-1000ProII is on a "Dayton" sale at Gigaparts for $459 with free shipping through Monday, the 21st. (Must be ordered on-line) I just posted this since there were $539 prices being mentioned on the reflector.

I briefly owned an AT-1000. I hated it, and sold it at a loss. LDG was
VERY unresponsive in addressing issues when I sent a virtually new
product in for service. Most of us here know what Elecraft's service is
like.

It should be noted that the Elecraft tuner has THREE switched outputs,
each of which remembers by band the settings for what was last
connected. An early product description suggested that the tuner might
be usable for SWRs below 3:1 at up to 1 or 1.2 kW.

As to the comparison (by others) with products like MFJ (Mighty Fine
Junk) -- you gotta be kidding. This is not "just a tuner," it is an
ELECRAFT tuner.
