Re: [Elecraft] KAT3 tuner and KXAT100 tuner specs question
I'd take the K3/100, Lou -- assuming you have no plans to operate QRP portable away from AC power. The K3's receiver is more robust and there should be no thermal issues if you decide to use any 100% duty cycle modes. Plus one box is easier to deal with, in terms of cables and such. 73, Phil w7ox On 3/7/14, 5:40 AM, W0FK wrote: I already own both Don. My question was more theoretical in nature.

One of the questions in my decisoin tree involves the specs of the tuner, and I could find very little to use to compare the two. 73, Lou, W0FK __ 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

Suspect mostly packaging.

Re: [Elecraft] KAT3 tuner and KXAT100 tuner specs question
The KAT3 tuner fits inside the K3 (with and without the KPA3) while the KXAT100 tuner fits inside the KPA100 amplifier. Order the one which fits inside whichever unit you have. Two very different form factors - these are not stand-alone tuners. 73, Don W3FPR On 3/7/2014 12:22 AM, W0FK wrote: The KAT3 used in the K3 and KXAT100 tuner used in the KXPA100 amp appear to have the same specs "on paper."

[Elecraft] KAT3 tuner and KXAT100 tuner specs question
The KAT3 used in the K3 and KXAT100 tuner used in the KXPA100 amp appear to have the same specs "on paper." Both handle 100 watts and up to a 10:1 SWR (KXPA100 lists 5:1 on 160 and 6, unsure about the KAT3). What are the differences between the two tuners, if any?
