[Elecraft] New KAT500 pics from the Visalia DX convention

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

Thanks everyone for the discussion and thanks Jim for the part number.
Now considering the options, but leaning towards just sticking with what I've got, which is mostly  'UHF' on HF and 'N' type on V/UHF. The only BNC are on the 6M preamp and will be on the XV144. Note that legal limit here is 400W and not many of us run that since neighbors are only a few feet away in a lot of cases ;-(
