[Elecraft] Elecraft KAT100 Antenna Tuner - Preview pics

[Eric Swartz WA6HHQ - Elecraft]

Ok - Since the KAT is out of the bag ;^) here is a link with some
preliminary pictures and features for the KAT100 150W ATU.

The KAT100 is basically a KAT2 on steroids. It fits in a 1.2" low profile
enclosure that uses the same footprint as the K2 and interfaces to the K2 in
an identical manner as the KAT2 QRP ATU. It will auto tune down to QRP power
levels (1/2W).

The response at the San Diego ARRL convention last weekend was overwhelming!
Needless to say we are working overtime to get it into production.

Please do not call or email us with questions about features or pricing at
this time. We ar not taking orders yet for the KAT100. We will be in field
test in September and expect to ship it in October. 

We will begin taking orders and post additional pictures and information on
the web page and this list some time between now and then. Stay tuned!

73, Eric   WA6HHQ
