I briefly owned an AT-1000. I hated it, and sold it at a loss. LDG was
*Jim,
In VK you will pay that for a pretty dumb LDG auto-tuner with a single
antenna connection and more for a manual Palstar.
Given the almost equal exchange rate the KAT-500 not only represents value
for money (not a phrase I would use in a sentence with MFJ in it) it offers
great versatility a

Understand that
I plan to order my KAT500 as soon as I find new employment. It will
replace the old MFJ-962D I'm using currently.

You bet, Vic. Just read the reviews of antenna tuners in QST, with
careful attention to the amount of power absorbed in the tuner at some
load impedance/reactance combinations, and imagine 600 watts being

Oops, wrong again! I see that they make the claim that it will handle 1200-1500
watts on
the website. But I suspect you have to be very careful!

I would expect that this would depend not only on the SWR, but on the nature of
the
impedance it sees. Unless someone from Elecraft told you this, I wouldn't risk
running
1500 watts at 3:1 SWR (if Elecraft DID tell you this, then I'm ordering one)!

The LDG AT-1000ProII is on a "Dayton" sale at Gigaparts for $459 with free
shipping through Monday, the 21st. (Must be ordered on-line) I just posted this
since there were $539 prices being mentioned on the reflector.
The KAT500 at $699 is quite a bit higher. Also, shipping to the East Cost via
I've never owned a MFJ tuner capable of handling its "rated" power for
anything over a 1.5 SWR (and then you get into arguments about PEP vs CW vs
Continuous Carrier). They all burn out with even a slight mismatch. Since
I'm not trying to tune a dummy load, I'll go with something that can handle

I agree the price is a bit higher than I would have liked to have seen.
I am sure it will work far better than the MFJ and I don't think either will

The AT-1000ProII is $539 at HROpretty close and I bet the KAT500 will be
very comparable.
My order was #3 btw...
