[Elecraft] K3: Order KAT3 with KPA500+KAT500
HI, Should I order KAT3 if my plan to use KPA500+KAT500 with a K3 all the time(with a different output power as required)? What I found is that I should bypass KAT3 with KPA500+KAT500 in use. Does it mean I do not need KAT3?

I like having the KAT100 as it gives me one additional option. It was great using it during field day. I leave it in bypass in my shack because I use the SPE 1k amplifier so it is not required.

The first is QRP. Last I looked, the KAT500 does not sense frequency or autotune with only 5W drive. The KAT3 does. Second, adding the tuner gives you a second switched output from the K3, which yields a nice compact package for FD and other travel . IMO, not a good enough reason to buy the KAT3 unless you're really flush. :) 73, Jim K9YC __ 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
