[Elecraft] KPA500 & KAT500 in WPX

This approach is IMHO the best and it works very well in SPE Expert amps in 
combination basically with all the makes of transceivers including Elecraft. 
I use Expert 1K-FA with K3 and KX3 and tuner of the Expert is always in a 
correct position by the time I switch to TX.
It is a pity that Elecraft did not adopt the same approach in case of KAT500 
which I also have. Lack of this feature makes it impossible for me to use 
KAT500 in combination with HLA300 amp and KX3 as  an exciter. I would 
definitely implement any hardware mod in KAT500 that would make KAT500 
change setting based on the VFO data from the exciter if Elecraft ever will 
design such a modification.
