[Elecraft] KAT500

[Fred Jensen]

At Pacificon, I cornered one of my contest buddies, Bob, K6XX, an 
Elecraft employee, about my KAT500.  Well ... actually ... he cornered 
me about SOTA and the summit he lives on, we do know each other fairly 
well.  I asked him if the first KAT500 had shipped.  He said "Yes."  I 
said, "And, it was mine?".  He said, "Only in your dreams!".  I really 
love you Bob. :-)  But, in reality,

They made a redesign based on field testing ... and thank you Elecraft 
for that.  It's now in production, yours and mine will come.  I looked 
at a production model, it has all the gozintas and gozoutas that I was 
looking for.  It'll come, they all have.

73,
