We're starting with a basic in-shack version of the KAT500, allowing us to focus on achieving rock-solid L-network performance at this power level (it's our first high-power ATU). We hope to leverage this experience and offer a remote version in the future.
Some of the competing products we evaluated had serious RFI or component-rating deficiencies that caused them to fail in our test suite. That won't happen with the KAT500. 73, Wayne N6KR On Nov 16, 2011, at 6:23 AM, Dave Lankshear wrote: >> The KAT500's enclosure is extensively ventilated to minimize air flow >> restriction when sitting on top of other equipment.
