Yes sir, speculation is just that. I didn't really think the KAT500 -should- sell for $750 USD. I was rounding off a bit when I tossed out the "$75.00 is about 10%" line. I actually expect a KAT500 with subRX features to sell in the $600 price range, assembled. I have assembled or outright built all of my Elecraft gear, and I hope I have the option of doing the same with the KAT500. (I have a KX3 kit on order also).
While we're on the subject of Elecraft mojo- that somewhat difficult to define substance... I have worked HK0NA on 20 band/modes so far on 80-10, using a 176ft doublet. The K3/P3/KPA500 has made this a fun hunt. I am lucky, in that I only have 1 QSO that seems to have been "lost" in their logs. Not bad compared to some who have worked them on 15 band/modes, but the log only shows 3- ouch! Assuming they find my "lost" 12M RTTY Q, I just need them on 80/40/10M RTTY for a clean sweep of the bands I run here. Big Fun. 73 es see you in the pile-ups, Bruce, N1RX -----Original Message----- From: Oliver Dröse [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, January 28, 2012 1:52 PM To: Bruce Beford; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 query > Less for the kit version, without the K3 SubRX pass thru option, but we'll > see, won't we?

Sure Bruce, full ack. ;-)) But nevertheless $750 would be much overpriced (for me at least) even including the "Elecraft mojo bonus" which the guys surely deserve. ;-)) But you're right, we'll see ... ______________________________________________________________ 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
