[KX3] Expected 100-watt amplifier for KX3 ?

[Phil Hystad-3]

When the 100-watt amplifier is made available for the KX3 will it include (as an option?) a 100-watt ATU?  I presume in the same physical box as the amplifier?  Or, would it be a separate box or separate product (different from KAT100)?

I am not thinking of an ATU for mobile.  For mobile, I am tuning a screwdriver antenna (Hi-Q) to a reasonable SWR (under 1.5).  But, I am curious about options available for both portable (with an amplifier) and even base station.  I know that other available ATUs can be used, it is just that the features and form of the Elecraft equipment is nice.

KXPA100 External 100-Watt Amplifier

Our high-performance KXPA100 home/mobile amplifier seamlessly integrates
with the KX3 as well as other popular 5- to 10-W transceivers. It has its
own internal ATU option (KXAT100) with dual antenna jacks.

Dick,

Thanks for the quick reply.  I just (a few moments ago) downloaded the KX3 brochure and saw that the KXPA100 includes the built in ATU option.  I should have read that before asking my question.

Yes, the KXPA100 will have an optional KXAT100 ATU module with the  
same matching range as the KXAT3 internal tuner. The ATU module will  
fit in the same enclosure. If the KX3 detects that a KXAT100 is in the  
system, it will automatically put the KXAT3 into bypass mode.
