Hello Johnny,
The need for an extra 3 dB on 6m is why I opted for an M2 6M-1000 compact solid
state amp to take on DXpeditions. I was very sorry that Elecraft did not come out
with a kw amp, because it would have been very nice to have a matching amp that
worked on HF, too. But you are absolutely correct - 6m can be very challenging
and - especially on EME - the increased power of a few dB makes all the difference
in the world! In fact, many times even just one dB stands between success and
failure.

Hello Doug,
I think KPA500 gives 500W in 6 m which is beyond the limit of AT-600Pro. 6m
could be very challenging and QRO is better.
Anyway, I am awaiting further details of KAT500 before proceeding further.Â
 cheers,
Johnny VR2XMC

主題： Re: [Elecraft] autotuner for new amp
The MFJ-994B works OK. The LDG AT-600Pro is much better. I have them
both and use them with the Ameritron ALS-600. The K-3's tuner will tune
many antennas/freqs that neither of these will handle. The LDG is a
little more expensive. I got mine at CheapHam.com.

The MFJ-994B is $300 at R&L Electronics - might be a good choice if this is an
interim tuner while you wait for the KAT500.
