I gotta say I’m with Bill-N6FB on this one. I am interested in the KPA500 but disappointed that it did not come with an on-board tuner or at the same time as the KAT500… so now I am going to wait to see what evolves with the KAT500 later on before I take the plunge. I could buy an LDG AT-600 but would prefer not to in the interim.
I run one non-resonant antenna here, a Carolina Windom at 60 feet. And before some of you start reminding about the inefficiencies of it, I've put up a DXCC score of 346 confirmed with 100W. So it works. My QTH is 92 feet ASL and 8 miles from the Atlantic so nothing special with the QTH here. Why my interest in the KPA500 now? With only 2 left for #1 DXCC I will need a RF boost especially with this solar cycle looking like it’s a bust. And I’d love to have the complete ‘K-Line’ here in my station before it’s all over. (I had a heart attack last year.....the clock is ticking.) So Wayne and Eric, how about a bit more insight and info on the projected status of the KAT500? It would be appreciated here. 73 de N1LQ-Dave ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
