A litter of two KAT 500s was delivered on my doorstep late yesterday afternoon. The first KAT is now installed and fully integrated with my K-3, P3, KPA500 and now KAT500. The fist KAT out of the bag makes everything in the lineup happy, especially me. All antennas tune like a dream automatically, band segments are recalled, QSY and Band Changes are a breeze 160 - 6m. The Aux Cable simplified installation and integration, 20 minutes including removing the LDG 600 Auto Tuner. I'm a CW only Op so I didn't have to go bottom to top of all bands for initial tuning. Regardless, I am very impressed with the KAT 500.
The second KAT will be installed with my backup set up, a TS-480 driving a KPA-500 soon to be followed by the second KAT. Integration won't be as smooth but I'm confident the line up will work well together. Thanks Elecraft for another great product. 73, Jack W0UCE ______________________________________________________________ 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
