KPA500/KAT-500-K

Chuck Chandler
They arrived Thursday.  Between Thursday night and Friday morning I built
the amplifier.  Thursday afternoon I built the tuner.  No issues with
either except the tuner was missing a silicone thermal pad.  An exchange of
emails quickly determined I could use one I had on hand.  Nice to get quick
responses from people who know the product!

The amp was used for the entire contest weekend without a hint of trouble.
I tried to watch the power out and keep it out of the red.  Even when I was
on a small run the temp never got above 52 C.

The tuner worked great as well, only a couple of times it refused to find a
match when I was using low band antennas well outside their sweet spots.
Nothing a button push wouldn't cure.

Many thanks to the whole Elecraft gang for the great products!
