When they are satisfied the new pc boards work as desired? I believe that is where they are with the KAT500 right now.

One great thing about Elecraft, a product is not released until it is ready.
Then the updates continue. You can count on the product to work from the get-go. I was not paid to say this either, just experience. I continue to wait for a potential remote tuner for my high power amp. 73, Bill K9YEQ -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of N5GE Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2012 2:08 PM To: Elecraft Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KAT-500 Keep your shirts on folks.

Thank you Eric!
Finally, drawings of what the footprint and configuration is going to look like. 2 questions remain to be answered. How much is it going to cost? Is it going to be capable of doing the "touch up" tuning at full power or is it going to have the amp drop out and tuning done with the exciter's carrier (K3 or other driving rig)?

I've been tempted on occasion to say it might be out by Dayton, but have kept my mouth shut, so to speak. I'm glad to see I wasn't far off in thinking that. Matthew Pitts N8OHU Sent from Yahoo!

2 remain from before but now the list can grow. My contribution to it:
What is the AH4 1/8inch jack for? Will Antenna 1 to 3 selection be automated based on band data from the K3? I now have 7 weeks of suspense left. I can at least work on filling all the space that will suddenly become available. Looks good...

You could sell me a KAT-1500. I know, it doesn't go with the integrated K-Line. But I
think a lot of people would want one.

I see Elecraft have taken on board what the general populous asked for and that was for at least 3 outputs, should please a lot of op's this one!

The auto tuner I bought displays the values selected when tuned...the reason I bought it. I have had some non-tunable portions of bands (low end of 160M) and with the readout was able to easily identify and supplement the feedline with a capacitor and tune up. Is there any chance with the KAT500, that the values could be read out in the future?

It was answered a week or so ago ... I haven't looked through the archives but the comment was that the KPA-500 has gained "AH-4 compatibility." My interpretation of that comment from TPTB was that the "AH-4 jack" has the Icom "key" and "start" signals on tip and ring (or ring and tip) ... and the KPA-500 will react to the Icom commands just like the AH-3/AH-4. 73, ...
