Hi Phil, The KXAT3 has a few advantages over the T1 when used with the KX3:
- wider matching range (16 network elements vs. 14) - nothing extra to carry - well-integrated with the radio (for example, you can use the menu to see what the ATU settings are, test the relays manually, etc.) - automatically recalls settings per-band and per-segment within each band - switchable low-pass filter components that optimize receive performance when you're listening in the AM broadcast band Of course the T1 is very small, and would be a good choice if you had multiple rigs you wanted to use it with. It runs from a 9-V battery and draws no current during normal operation. 73, Wayne N6KR On Dec 9, 2011, at 4:53 PM, Phil Hystad wrote: > The new forthcoming KX3 includes an optional 20-watt automatic tuner > called the KXAT3.
