An on-board tuner is impossible with the KPA500 and power supply in the totally minimalist K3 case. The KPA500 is almost impossibly small for amp + supply. This extreme compactness of the amplifier will be the big selling point for many buyers. Maybe the KAT500 will be in a P3 case.
The other thing is to remote the KAT500 (exactly what I do with something like that). Putting it in the box with the KPA500 tosses this very valuable option. I think Wayne has this very well thought out. AND a company his size can only successfully introduce so much at one time. We DO want him to stay successful, profitable, and still updating firmware, and introducing new stuff. 73, Guy > On 4/7/11 6:32 PM, David and Dianne on Comcast wrote: >> 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.
