I agree a modification allowing the KAT500 to eavesdrop on CAT line and still retain it's own frequency counter system to fall back on if CAT information is not available in a particular setup would be a very worthy modification. Already done in the SPE amps so it can be done.

I use Expert 1K-FA with K3 and KX3 and tuner of the Expert is always in a correct position by the time I switch to TX. It is a pity that Elecraft did not adopt the same approach in case of KAT500 which I also have. Lack of this feature makes it impossible for me to use KAT500 in combination with HLA300 amp and KX3 as an exciter. I would definitely implement any hardware mod in KAT500 that would make KAT500 change setting based on the VFO data from the exciter if Elecraft ever will design such a modification. 73, Igor UA9CDC > Hopefully someday the > K3 frequency could be shared with the KAT prior to transmit so that > the relays can be propositioned. > > 73, Bob, WB4SON > ______________________________________________________________ > 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 ______________________________________________________________ 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
