Although I don't have a KPA500 (still dreaming as I have to buy diapers), I feel for those experiencing the problem.
With that said, it just goes to show Elecraft's dedication to it's customers to try and solve whatever might be causing the issue. I don't know of any other product line, regardless of the market, ham, computer, guns, cars, mountain bikes, etc, where the company not only listens to and interacts with the customer, but takes the issues seriously and tries to solve them. It's good to know that Elecraft doesn't just see us as serial numbers and profit. Well done Wayne, Eric, and the Elecraft staff. It's for this reason alone, regardless of performance, that as the financial picture dictates, I will switch all my HF gear out to Elecraft. For now, I'll enjoy my KX3 as much as I can in and out of the shack. For those of you who look at my QRZ.com page, you'll notice I'm a huge baseball fan. My goal this year, is to operate portable from my seat at the ballpark with the KX3. I wouldn't be able to combine my two favorite hobbies if wasn't for Elecraft. 73, Steve KS6PD On Friday, January 10, 2014, AG0N-3055 wrote: > On Fri, 10 Jan 2014 10:33:35 -0700, Gary McDuffie > <mcduf...@actcom.net<javascript:;> > > > wrote: > > On Fri, 10 Jan 2014 07:09:42 -0500, Bill W2BLC wrote: > > > I have talked to a couple of local hams with K-Lines about the problem. > > They have experienced the same KAT500 retuning problem, but wrote it off > > as the tuner being overly sensitive to "stray RF."
