[Elecraft] KAT-500

[Bob]

2 remain from before but now the list can grow.  My contribution to it:

What is the AH4 1/8inch jack for?

Will Antenna 1 to 3 selection be automated based on band data from the K3?

I now have 7 weeks of suspense left.   I can at least work on filling all the 
space that will suddenly become available.

Looks good...   Credit card loaded and locked, ready to fire.

73,
Bob

Is it going to be capable of doing the "touch up" tuning at full power or is it going to have the amp drop out and tuning done with the exciter's carrier (K3 or other driving rig)?
