[Elecraft] FW: Re: K3: ATU but a bigger version

[Edward Dickinson, III]

Thanks for bringing the notion up, Phil.

It seems there is a fair amount of interest in a high power 'remote' ATU as
well.

If Elecraft takes up the idea of a high power (I'd enjoy a mid-power remote
unit at present) ATU, it would 'seem' that the core components could be
kitted in two variations.  Desktop/Shack version and a Remote version.
KATU-800/1500F and KATU-800/1500R...  The choice of a remote or fixed ATU
outside of the linears adds flexibility the the line.  A lower price for an
amp without an internal tuner might sell more amps as well.

I keep thinking about that 'maybe box the size/style of a K3' mention...

PS  It would be interesting to know the demographics of Elecraft users as it
relates to operating goals.

"...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." - Phil, K7PEH
