[Elecraft] [K-Line] The size of things to come...

[Wayne Burdick]

We're starting with a basic in-shack version of the KAT500, allowing  
us to focus on achieving rock-solid L-network performance at this  
power level (it's our first high-power ATU). We hope to leverage this  
experience and offer a remote version in the future.

Some of the competing products we evaluated had serious RFI or  
component-rating deficiencies that caused them to fail in our test  
suite. That won't happen with the KAT500.
