Rumor level now-
The modular jack on the back is currently undefined, but is NOT just
an extension of the K3 ACC connection.  An ATU connnected there was
mentioned.  And, as I said, there's a button with an ATU label.

The most knowledgeable person is no longer here, but the active devices are
apparently a pair of 750W devices running at 60VDC.

And it MAY deliver power without a ATU as well as some units that
have an ATU.

Delivery- "end of this year".
that's all for now.

   Only room for so much stuff in a K3 sized box.  I like the built-in Power
   Supply and the 500 W design point.  And, I'm even thankful that there isn't
   a built-in tuner, as it holds out the possibility of an external 500W
   Elecraft tuner!  Make it remotable, capable of driving a balanced or
   unbalanced load and weatherproof, please  ;>)
