[Elecraft] KPA500 & KAT500 in WPX

[John Shaw]

I agree a modification allowing the KAT500 to eavesdrop on CAT line and
still retain it's own frequency counter system to fall back on if CAT
information is not available in a particular setup would be a very worthy
modification.  Already done in the SPE amps so it can be done.

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.
