[Elecraft] Question about forthcoming KAT500

[Don Wilhelm]

Phil,

You might want to try adding or subtracting some feedline - that is sure 
to make some feedpoint impedance change.  OTOH, if you now have a 
working system, why change?  If there is some added value to using the 
KAT500 over what you have installed and working, then fine, look at how 
to best integrate the KAT500 - but if what you have works to your 
satisfaction, then why change.
Don't monkey with what works.

73,
Don W3FPR

So, the KAT500 is not on my to-buy list until I get this antenna fixed to match better.  I have a lot of ideas but I am waiting for warmer and dryer weather -- good because the KAT500 should be well tested by the field by then.
