Guys I tried to make my post as non combative as possible and I said I am no EE so I certainly am not capable of arguing technical pros-cons of what can or can't be done. Not wanting to throw gasoline on this but every idea I put forward I have to confess was not entirely my own but observations of how another high power amplifier/tuner on the market works and yes it can fall back to using a sniff of RF to maintain diverse compatibility if frequency data cannot be provided.
My questions were purely inquisitive and didn't want to upset anyone sensitivities. Clearly the K line equipment is the best on the market and cannot be improved. ;-) Merry Christmas & Happy New Year, see you in the pileups 2013. 73 John ZL1BYZ. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jim Brown Sent: Wednesday, 26 December 2012 17:02 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 a good tuner or great tuner On 12/25/2012 7:06 PM, Keith-K5ENS wrote: > We're talking adding features for the K line. Not removing any. You're missing something. The limitation is the hardware design of the K3, and there's nothing the KAT designer could have done about that (or could do now). We are stuck with that. IMO, the KAT500 implementation is awfully close to ideal based on those limitations. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ 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 ______________________________________________________________ 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
