Hello Kristina The KAT2 has one big advantage over the T1. (I have both of them). With the T1, you are looking at just one antenna. With the KAT2, you have two separate ANT ports, and can switch between them with a button press. On a band-by-band basis, the KAT2 remembers its setting for whatever antenna is connected to either port, so you don't have to retune when switching bands or antennas. Also, ;using a barefoot K2, you have a POWER measuring circuit that is just an rf voltmeter across the 50 ohm output, and it is only accurate when the load is a true 50 ohms, such as with a good dummy load. The KAT2 has a true wattmeter circuit, and measures the power, whether you have a tight match or not. Another advantage of the KAT2 is that it is internal, so when you go to the field, like for FD, that is one less piece of gear to drag along. Personally, I thought the KAT2 was the slickest piece of engineering in the whole K2 options line. Good luck and 73 Bob N6WG
