Hi Tom, There are LCD icons for both RIT and XIT. XIT is rarely used, and you'd think that those who do use it would be motivated to keep an eye on both the XIT icon and the Delta-F LED. That said, I'll add to my list consideration of flashing the XIT icon and/or the Delta-F LED. I have to

I agree, but as an example if I am on 40m at some ridiculous hour I would be working CW at the low end and SSB between 7140 and 7197 kHz, which I believe could result in a fair number of "clicks" during the night when using an all driven array with the type of ATU you have in mind. I guess that

I (and others) have been hoping for something like this since the K2 came out. Elecraft introduced the T1, which is fine for QRP use, but sometimes you've gotta crank the power up a bit. If Elecraft would introduce a remote tuner based on the KAT100 or the KAT3 priced competitively, I think it wou
