[Elecraft] K3 - amp and tuner question

[Bill Clarke]

Do I have this right:
The K3 works seamlessly with the KPA500 for band selections?
Band changes are done without operator input?

Add the KAT500 to the chain and all tuning is automatic - without 
operator intervention?

In other words, the K3 combo with the amp and tuner will operate the 
same as the K3 and the 100 Watt internal tuner? Just QSY and talk???

At present I use an AL80A and a PalStar AT1500DT. Does a good job and is 
very solid. But, now that I have tamed the K3, perhaps it is time to 
upgrade to fully automatic.

I use wires for 160/75/40 (proper length elements for each band that the 
K3 handles easily). A small vertical for the rare interludes of using 
the higher bands (trapped - so no challenge for a tuner).

Thanks,
