A number I heard was $2000., but I have to admit, I don't recall who said it.
I didn't ask about K2 interfacing, but since it's got the serial port interface, I suspect it'll work fine. Apparently it can follow the transceiver by either reading the serial port or by watching the drive frequency (frequency counter). Note that all of this is preliminary, and anything can change to some degree. Oh, and it's got front panel band buttons, one for each band, and using them changes the band on the K3, also. So now, band buttons for your K3. And it's possible that Elecraft won't actually produce a tuner themselves, but will make interfacing informattion available for others to do something that will work cleanly. 73, doug Date: Sun, 18 Apr 2010 09:08:58 +0800 (HKT) From: Johnny Siu <[email protected]> Hello Doug, Any idea about the likely pricing. I am really looking for a linear that I can service it myself. Can I suppose KPA500 will work with both K2 and K3? 73 Johnny VR2XMC ----- éµä»¶å件 ---- å¯ä»¶äººóðõ Doug Faunt N6TQS +1-510-655-8604 <[email protected]> æ¶ä»¶äººóðõ [email protected] å¯æ¬(CC) [email protected] å³éæ¥æóðõ 2010/4/18 (æ¥) 5:49:44 AM 主é¡óòú Re: [Elecraft] News from Visalia! (:-)) Rumor level now- The modular jack on the back is currently undefined, but is NOT just an extension of the K3 ACC connection. An ATU connnected there was mentioned. And, as I said, there's a button with an ATU label. The most knowledgeable person is no longer here, but the active devices are apparently a pair of 750W devices running at 60VDC. And it MAY deliver power without a ATU as well as some units that have an ATU. Delivery- "end of this year". that's all for now. 73, doug From: "Craig D.

And, I'm even thankful that there isn't a built-in tuner, as it holds out the possibility of an external 500W Elecraft tuner! Make it remotable, capable of driving a balanced or unbalanced load and weatherproof, please ;>)
