However, my approach was going to be to buy just the KAT500 board and find/build a suitable enclosure. I'm a bit surprised Elecraft does not offer the KAT500 board packaged as a weather resistant remote tuner. As to needing AUX cable and keying interrupt - - KAT500 does not need AUX cable to operate but if you want to help it along it's far better to give it the TX exact frequency rather than just the band. - What other remote tuners provide keying interrupt? In any event, the SWR seen at the remote tuner could be quite different from the SWR seen at the amplifier and may not be a good indication of whether the amp should be keyed. The keying interrupt should be based on SWR seen at the amplifier output. I actually already have that wired using my LP100A. 73, Andy k3wyc ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to w4...@satterfield.org --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
