Fred,

I hear the relays clattering BUT nowhere near as loud as the LDG product and
this is only during a full tune.

Once the bands have been swept initially, you only here a click on key up as
the kat500 selects a memory bin.

I would doubt anything could be as bad as bad as the LDG's. I had a new 1000
Pro and it sounded like you were shaking a gallon can with 2 dozen marbles
in it unloaded 2 weeks after I bought it. Don't know about the Elecraft but
my Palstar HF-Auto and the Alpha 4040 Auto Tuner I have on order all have
the stepper motors and they are quiet.

My KAT100 is quiet so I expect the 500 to be the same.

I've got the LDG AT-600Pro. It does what I need it to do, but it's
awfully noisy when it cannot recall a setting from memory. How much
noise does the KAT500 make?
