autotuner for new amp

I'm sure all this has been discussed but for whatever reason I can't find
the thread. When the new amp is available, will the compatible autotuner be
in the same box or separate? Will it be ready at the same time as the amp,
or later? Any news on its price?

thanks,
Tony KT0NY

Re: autotuner for new amp

Hi Tony,

There's no autotuner within the KPA500. I think the introduction of the
KAT500 will be sometime after the KPA500. Perhaps someone with better
knowledge than myself will speak to the matter.

I notice the Macro/Power Setting threads going on here as well.

It will be nice if the K3/100 and KPA500 will sense each other and adapt.
Specifically, the power required output of the K3 might typically be 100
watts, but something less than that will likely drive the KPA500 to full
output. Will the K3's power level be able to automatically reset to an
owner preset level when the KPA500 is inline and out of standby mode?

*Ed,

The KPA-500 only requires a maximum of 40w for full output.

Mostly 31-35w achieves full power out.

Correct. No firm estimate yet.

Yes. There will be two "per band" power settings, one with amp in, one
with amp out. The K3 will also alert you to amp hard-fault conditions
(those which put it into standby), in case you were too far from the
amp to see it or hear its own alarm.
