Hi,

Yes please, a remotable, weatherproofed 500W tuner with balanced capability would create an instant order here. Until then, I will continue to rely on my modified MFJ tuner (remote the "tune" function with a wire and weatherproofed in a plastic feed container). It's starting to show signs of corrosion and decay after 4 CNY winters but it's still working fine. I have a spare on hand to install when it gives out. It's cheap enough to be a throwaway item. Hint: Use Ethernet for the remote connection, please. It's easy nowadays.

  Only room for so much stuff in a K3 sized box.  I like the built-in Power
  Supply and the 500 W design point.  And, I'm even thankful that there isn't
  a built-in tuner, as it holds out the possibility of an external 500W
  Elecraft tuner!  Make it remotable, capable of driving a balanced or
  unbalanced load and weatherproof, please  ;>)
