I told them so as well. Disappointed!
At first glance, I would not call this tuner "perfect" for use with the KPA-500 at all. It is under-rated for full ouput of the KPA-500. It will only handle 300W on RTTY, and 250W on 6M. From what I have read thus far, the KPA-500 can comfortably produce continuous power levels that would bring this tuner to it's knees. I wouldn't be too disappointed. Keep looking. Bruce, N1RX >From the LDG website: LDG has announced the AT-600Pro Autotuner. It will handle 600 watts on SSB and CW, 300 watts on RTTY and 250 watts on 54 MHz. Features include an LED indicator for antenna selection and an LED to indicate when in bypass. Delivery for the AT-600Pro is mid June, 2010. A preliminary manual is available from our Manuals section. Suggested Retail Price $359.99. ______________________________________________________________ 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
