[Elecraft] KAT500...e mail today

[r miles]

Last week, thanks to some very diligent field testing, we discovered a 
way to significantly reduce LC network losses on the highest bands 
(especially on 6 meters).

We just redesigned the PC board to take advantage of this, so you'll be 
getting a better ATU. This will push the production schedule out 
farther, and we had to scrap a lot of material, but the change will be 
worth the trouble.

We'll post a revised shipping date as soon as Eric recovers from his 
latest hamfest adventure.

Tnx Wayne,

This is why I'm glad I own a K3  & a KPA500. I'll be waiting. My opinion 
if this was an offshore manufacturer this would be fixed in the second 
or third generation. Maybe.  I've been happier with my Elecraft  than 
any other brand I've owned. I've owned every JA brand & I'll not go 
back. Keep up the great work.
