KAT500 update

[wayne burdick]

The KAT500 500 W+ ATU is shaping up nicely with the latest hardware  
and firmware. One of our engineers found that it easily and quickly  
matched his 23-foot flagpole antenna on 160-6 meters. A certain very  
popular competing ATU (which shall not be named) found a match only on  
40-10 meters on the same antenna.

We'll have more test results and pricing soon.

Wayne et al -


Do you anticipate, obviously at some future date, a mobile version of
the KAT-500 that will work with a typical 9-foot whip?   Perhaps not for
160  and 6 meters, but at least 80 through 10 meters?

Yes, I'm waiting too.  However I also am looking for the same Elecraft
quality I'm so very used to when I get it.  I have some distant [12
years retired] understanding of engineering, and I don't want something
that someone just soldered together.  I've gotten that before, I'm
learning. :-)
