[Elecraft] KAT100 Question

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

I'll add to Dave's comment that the L-match circuit in the KAT100 should
be more efficient than a T-network type ATU. T-network tuners are
"common" but definitely not "preferable" if one is going for lowest
losses overall.

Yes, it should do just fine. But [with no disrespect intended] what
W9INN 
didn't tell you is that a doublet of nearly any length will also work
for 
all bands, i.e. you probably don't need to buy his antenna at all with
the 
KAT100.
