[Elecraft] K3: ATU but a bigger version

[Bill K9YEQ]

Phil,

I have privately requested the same as you suggest. Since there is already a
full market of amps... would love to have the auto tuner to work with my THP
HL-2.5.  The THP auto tuner doesn't quite have what I would like. Even
better, I would like a totally remote Elecraft tuner which works at/near the
antennas.  There are a couple out there, but the cost is amazing for the
complicated wiring to them.  Would be nice to be fully remote.  I did that
with an MFJ 994, which worked ok up to 600 watts, but not legal limit.


73,

I really like the way that the K3 ATU works.  It has that nice "push my
button and I will tune for you" feel to it.

But, it is so small.  OK, kind of kidding here but it would be nice to have
a big legal limit version of this tuner.  Sure, a separate "bigger" box
container.  I don't really like some of the auto-tuners that I have seen
that are in automatic mode and retune behind the scenes (so to say).  I like
to have some control over my auto-tuner.

So, is there any hope that Elecraft might someday build a big 1500 watt
capable ATU along the same style as the ATU in the K3?  Knowing Elecraft, it
would be highly configurable with firmware controlled features and options.
And a kit version too of course.

73, phil, K7PEH
