[Elecraft] high-power tuner

[Bill Hammond]

Hi Ian,
Many of us are in that boat.  I don't believe the KTA500 is vaperware.  I'm just cooling my heals for the reason you cited, unreliable products from the competition.  I want good products and great support from people that care about their customers.  That is worth the wait, even if it is until the end of the year.  Heck the K3 tuner will load a hairpin, I would expect the KTA500 will as well.  If I just couldn't wait any longer ,I think I would find a manual tuner to hold me over (one that had a good resale value). :)
73,
