[Elecraft] KX1 ATU?

[Don Wilhelm]

Tom,

The KAT2 (and KAT100) has 8 inductors and 8 capacitors to choose from - 
in 256 steps.  The KXAT1 has only 3 inductors and 3 capacitors - only 7 
steps.
That information is available right at the front of the manual in the 
Specifications section.  If the desire was for a tuner that would work 
as well as the KAT2, then a quick glance at the Specifications would 
tell whether it would even come close.  All things Elecraft are not 
created equal - things that have to be crammed into small spaces must 
provide some limits, and in this particular case it is a significantly 
reduced matching range.

73,
