[Elecraft] Elecraft KPA 1500 - What is next?

[W0UCE]

Before Elecraft even considers or starts working on anything else new, I for
one would be most grateful if the powers that be would release the KAT-500
to market or at least provide some reliable "take it to the bank" type
information.

At recent hamfest Elecraft booth duty individuals are saying is obviously
fictional and whatever they think a prospective buyer wants to hear and they
have nothing to back up what they are saying...

When can we expect to receive some factual information about the KAT500?
