[Elecraft] First KAT out of the Bag

[W0UCE]

A litter of two KAT 500s was delivered on my doorstep late yesterday
afternoon. The first KAT is now installed and fully integrated with my K-3,
P3, KPA500 and now KAT500. The fist KAT out of the bag makes everything in
the lineup happy, especially me. All antennas tune like a dream
automatically, band segments are
recalled, QSY and Band Changes are a breeze 160 - 6m.  The Aux Cable
simplified installation and integration, 20 minutes including removing the
LDG 600 Auto Tuner. I'm a CW only Op so I didn't have to go bottom to top of
all bands for initial tuning.  Regardless, I am very impressed with the KAT
500.

The second KAT will be installed with my backup set up, a TS-480 driving a
KPA-500 soon to be followed by the second KAT. Integration won't be as
smooth but I'm confident the line up will work well together. 

Thanks Elecraft for another great product.
