[Elecraft] Coupla' KAT500 questions

[r miles]

I'm ready  now guys! Looks like early 2012.

Is the software  all finished? I am interested on how it will tune. Will 
the K3 provide carrier alone  or with  the KPA 500. Guessing it will 
match the load in low power. I'll miss the SWR graph dancing!

I've read the size is as the K3/KPA only half as tall. Is that correct?

  Is there a ball park figure on cost? I am ready to get one..yesterday.
