Yesterday I put in-line my new KAT100 autotuner. This
event marks yet another "works 100% the first time"
Elecraft kit. In fact, except for a single resistor I
installed incorrectly in 1999, *ALL* of my Elecraft
kits have come up, first-time, 100%.
Recently I saw a thread about kitbuilding concerns.
While I understand that for some there might be
initial trepidation, I can honestly say that Elecraft
kits don't warrant any undue anxiety! If you can read
and can solder, you can build Elecraft kits.
And, BOY do they work GREAT once all the parts are
assembled! This ATU is _very_ nice, and I own or have
owned several LDG and SGC relay-step-matrix type
autocouplers, so I can make a fair comparison. I hope
that Eric and Wayne decide to 'repackage' this tuner
kit for the general ham population, as was mentioned a
while back. The resulting profits can then fund more
kit development for the rest of us! ;-)
With the addition of the KAT100 to my shack, I now
have no more Elecrafts to build. Well, maybe a
transverter ...
