The LDG AT-1000ProII is on a "Dayton" sale at Gigaparts for $459 with free shipping through Monday, the 21st. (Must be ordered on-line) I just posted this since there were $539 prices being mentioned on the reflector.
The KAT500 at $699 is quite a bit higher. Also, shipping to the East Cost via Priority Mail adds another $27 to the total. ( A difference of $267 for me - That's a considerable difference for me)
I have not seen the official specifications for the KAT500 so it's difficult to compare. are any specs available somewhere? The 6 meter power handling spec was mentioned but I can't understand exactly why you would even use a tuner on a 6 meter beam if it were properly adjusted. Does the KAT500 have an antenna switch with separate memories for each?
I also see a few reviews of the AT-600 being used with the KPA500 without issue. That one is $140 less than the AT-1000ProII.
