And it will be fully integrated into the 'K line', which means fewer
'buttons' to press, easier operations.

You might consider the size of the KAT500 before you consider another Auto
tuner. The KAT500 has the same footprint as the K3 and KPA500 and the
height is
less that 2 inches tall which will allow it to sit on top of either one. I
will
handle 10:1 SWR at 500 - 600 watts and 1200 to 1500 watts at 3:1 SWR. It
has
THREE antenna outputs that are selected on the front panel.

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?
There are some specs at
