Re: KAT500 now on order form

Its true that the customer attention is first class at Elecraft...but I
expect what may be closer to the truth in this case is that "the boss" got a
ration of flack from the "ladies" because he didn't have it set up before
the word got out that orders were being accepted...hi hi. Have fun in
Dayton, Eric... 73 de Greg-N4CC (Mine is on order as well...Thanks,
ladies...)

Thanks for making the effort and taking the time to setup the order form!!
My order is in.

Your customer focus is truly extraordinary!

Re: KAT500 now on order form

Greg,

It is true what you say - the "ladies" in the sales office do a great
job and will go out of their way to determine that each customer is
satisfied. Eric and Wayne support that type of response, so if you have
a sales, billing , or similar non-technical question, they will be able
to answer directly, If other areas of the Elecraft operation are
involved, it may take longer for your question to be filtered to the
proper person, but they will stay on "Top of it" until it is resolved.

Re: KAT500 now on order form

All the Elecraft employees that I have met and talked with seem to enjoy
their work. It is much more than just a "job".

KPA500 / KAT500 remote

Can the KPA500 & KAT500 be operated remotely via software? I need to separate the K3 from them about 3 to 4 feet and would like to operate the amp and tuner via pc software.

Tnx,
Jack

Many of us placed our orders over the phone yesterday.
Will we be sent an order number confirmation or number in line when they do
become available to ship?
Hopefully it is "first come, first served"?
I have the KPA500 kit and waiting to put it together and am looking forward
to the tuner!

Re: KPA500 / KAT500 remote

In reply to this post by W4GRJ

I can't answer for the KAT500, but the KPA certainly can be operated in this fashion. The KPA needs the K3's PTT output connection, and its operation is enhanced if you connect the band signals. It also has an RS-232 port that allows you to monitor and control the KPA from a computer. So the answer as far as the KPA500 is concerned is a definite yes.

Re: KPA500 / KAT500 remote

The KAT500 has a serial command set, used by the KAT500 Utility to display or set each relay, the total inductance and capacitance deployed, measured and computed matching data, and to simulate pressing any of the buttons.

This is not required to use the tuner, but provides additional detail for development, field test, and for those of us interested in the details.

That won't happen. Besides, can you imagine a BOD telling Wayne/Eric how to
run their business? They're best left to their own devices because we win
when that happens. ;o)
