KAT100-1 and 2 Discontinued

This may be old news, I searched and didn't see anything about it.

I was looking at the Shipping Status page and noticed they had discontinued
the tuner. They still have the KPA100 for sale, but without the tuner it's
seems it won't be long before they discontinue the 100 watt amp.

The K2 kit is on back order due to a high volume of orders so if you want
one it may be a good time to get on the list.

Makes me glad I was able to build the entire K2/100 and KAT100-2 and all
the optional boards.

What a great radio. I like to listen to this rig more then my K3 on CW.
It just has a pleasing tone.

All good things must come to an end I suppose.

Gary and all,

The KAT100-1 is still available, it was the EC2 enclosure which was
discontinued, and that is the reason the KAT100-2 was also discontinued.
You cannot build the KAT100-2 without the enclosure.

<The KAT100-1 is still available>

I hope you are right, Don. The shipping status page shows both the 1 and 2
discontinued. And neither one is on the order page.

I built my K2 in 2001 and later added the amp, KAT100, etc. It has been one
of the most fun things that I have done in this hobby. And it is still the
main radio in the shack.

I will contact the folks at Elecraft tomorrow to see why the KAT100-1
has disappeared from the website. Perhaps it was an error.

Looks like the KAT100-1 is back on the order page. I had to refresh the
browser to see it. That's good news.

The KAT100-1 is now properly on the order section of the webpage and the
shipping status page. I did not check further.

Yes, the shipping status properly shows the KAT100-2 as discontinued,
but the KAT100-1 is listed as In Stock right above that item.

The K2 will ship soon after the new parts come in.
