Re: re KPA 500 and ATU Great design

[Bill K9YEQ]

Let's not forget Eric and the whole team.  What a group.  Wayne and Eric as
a startup were off the charts when it came to design for those of us who
wanted high quality at a reasonable price.  I would love to own stock and be
on the board of directors, but I am sure that isn't going to happen.  :-)

An on-board tuner is impossible with the KPA500 and power supply in the
totally minimalist K3 case.  The KPA500 is almost impossibly small for amp +
supply.  This extreme compactness of the amplifier will be the big selling
point for many buyers.  Maybe the KAT500 will be in a
P3 case.

The other thing is to remote the KAT500 (exactly what I do with something
like that).  Putting it in the box with the KPA500 tosses this very valuable
option.

I think Wayne has this very well thought out.  AND a company his size can
only successfully introduce so much at one time.  We DO want him to stay
successful, profitable, and still updating firmware, and introducing new
stuff.

73, Guy
