[Elecraft] Could the KAT100 be autonomous ?

Wed Mar 26 22:59:06 2003

Thanks for the tip, John.  I was going to depend on the SWR reading on the
K2.  I really do like the idea of incrementing/decrementing the
capacitance on the output a step or two, however, and then being able to
save those settings for that frequency, because the tuner's algorythm will
get you to 2:1 by the looks of the manual.  Have you utilized this feature
at all?
