I know the KAT3 is wide ranging but I was wondering if it also has the
ability to affect receive as well as transmit. My TS-570D's internal tuner does not, for example, whereas both my external tuners do. Between that and the fact that I also have a 1500 watt PA that works with my existing antenna farm has caused me to not order the KAT3 with my K3/100. I would like to have the convenience of the extra ANT input, I have two antennas, as well as the convenience of the antenna memories, but between the receive tuning AND the fact that I will be occasionally using high power I have decided to forego the internal tuner for now. Am I on the right track here, or am I missing something? BTW, if money were no object I would just order it and be done with it!

Hi Jack
If you are using a single antenna, TXing and RXing with it, the ATU will affect receive as well as transmit. If you use a separate receive antenna jack to access a separate receiving antenna, the ATU will not be involved in the receive path. 73, Bob N6WG ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jack Regan" <[hidden email]> To: <[hidden email]> Sent: Sunday, April 20, 2008 4:14 PM Subject: [Elecraft] KAT3 > I know the KAT3 is wide ranging but I was wondering if it also has the > ability to affect receive as well as transmit. > > My TS-570D's internal tuner does not, for example, whereas both my external > tuners do. > > > > Between that and the fact that I also have a 1500 watt PA that works with my > existing antenna farm has caused me to not order the KAT3 with my K3/100. > > > > I would like to have the convenience of the extra ANT input, I have two > antennas, as well as the convenience of the antenna memories, but between > the receive tuning AND the fact that I will be occasionally using high power > I have decided to forego the internal tuner for now. > > > > Am I on the right track here, or am I missing something?
