[Elecraft] KAT500 a good tuner or great tuner

[John Shaw]

 Guys I tried to make my post as non combative as possible and I said I am
no EE so I certainly am not capable of arguing technical pros-cons of what
can or can't be done.  Not wanting to throw gasoline on this but every idea
I put forward I have to confess was not entirely my own but observations of
how another high power amplifier/tuner on the market works and yes it can
fall back to using a sniff of RF to maintain diverse compatibility if
frequency data cannot be provided.

My questions were purely inquisitive and didn't want to upset anyone
sensitivities. Clearly the K line equipment is the best on the market and
cannot be improved. ;-)

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year, see you in the pileups 2013.

You're missing something. The limitation is the hardware design of the K3,
and there's nothing the KAT designer could have done about that (or could do
now).  We are stuck with that.  IMO, the KAT500 implementation is awfully
close to ideal based on those limitations.
