Hello Oliver,

Great, so my next question will be "What is the added up price for KPA500 + 
ANT500?"

Sometimes, the total bill could be handsome.  With the weakening of US against 
JPY, buying from US becomes attractive.

Pacificon next year sounds great to me because I may have sight seeing among the 
various local attractions in CA as well.

I have been various parts of the world but have never been in west coast US.

Was at Pacificon today.  The KPA500 looks amazingly small.  About the same size 
as the K3, but 500 watts with a self-contained AC power supply.  The integration 
with the K3 is pretty impressive, also.  The delay in releasing it is rumored to 
be due, among other things, to waiting for FCC's seal of approval to work its 
way through the bureau.  


The 500 watt external antenna tuner (ANT500?) that Elecraft is rumored to be 
working on as a companion to the KPA500 sounds like a dynamite product -- when 
it ever sees the light of day.  It is rumored to be a remotable, rf-sensing, 
automatic, balanced, 500 watt tuner.  I think lots of people would buy it to run 
with a barefoot K3/100, even if they don't get a KPA500.  Would be great between 
your ladder line and your coax run.
