I have one of the earlier KAT500 kits that did not mention installing the
cable ties to secure the four large toroidal inductors, so I decided I would
bring my tuner up to date using the 4 plastic cable ties. The cable tie

Use two of the shorter 4 ties in series !

I grabbed a unit off the production line for the internal KAT500 picture. (Shot

I know the KAT500 Assembly Manual is under field review. But since a
number of factory assembled KAT500's have already been shipped, there
must be an Owner's Manual to go with them!
Will it be posted on the Web Site?

Phil,
Heck, if you have something in draft form, that you are apparently willing
to disseminate, why not just post it in the files section and mark it
clearly as a preliminary draft???

Magic. The cabling pages alone would have saved a load of heartburn on
the list a week or so ago.
How heavy is it?

Very lightweight! The shipping box was 7 pounds, and I'd guess that the
KAT weighed 5 pounds or less. It certainly isn't heavy by any stretch of
the imagination. If I get a chance to unwire it, I'll put it on the scale.

Hi,
It beats me why Elecraft thinks the preliminary manual is good enough to
ship to users who actually need accurate information but not to everybody
else who would like a preview. I see that the operations procedure calls for
changing the mode to AUTO. What other modes are available? The way I
Manual mode does exactly what you want. Press manual, transmit, and then
the tuner will tune.
We're printing the new manual right now and it will be up on the web as
soon as it is shipping with the KAT500s.
