[Elecraft] KAT500 query

[Bruce Beford]

My speculation is based upon 3 antenna ports, and fitted with the pass-thru
option for the K3 SubRX that was mentioned before (hopefully that has not
been dropped during the design process). Add to that the wide tuning range,
and plenty of designed in power handling margin, as well as nice tight
integration with the K3/KPA500. 

Less for the kit version, without the K3 SubRX pass thru option, but we'll
see, won't we? I'd rather guess high and be pleasantly surprised, rather
than the other way around, yes?
