[Elecraft] [KX3] KXAT3 versus T1 ?

[Wayne Burdick]

Hi Phil,

The KXAT3 has a few advantages over the T1 when used with the KX3:

- wider matching range (16 network elements vs. 14)

- nothing extra to carry

- well-integrated with the radio (for example, you can use the menu to
   see what the ATU settings are, test the relays manually, etc.)

- automatically recalls settings per-band and per-segment within each  
band

- switchable low-pass filter components that optimize receive
   performance when you're listening in the AM broadcast band

Of course the T1 is very small, and would be a good choice if you had  
multiple rigs you wanted to use it with. It runs from a 9-V battery  
and draws no current during normal operation.

73,
