[Elecraft] KAT500 retuing problem

[RLVZ at aol.com]

It sounds like the KAT500's re-tuning problem is pretty wide  spread.  I 
got tired of my KAT500's "chattering" and sold  it.  I fully expect Elecraft 
will get the problem fixed... which  is a lot better than other 3.  These 
days, it's getting common  for new radios from all manufacturers to be released 
with major bugs in  them.  Kind of like the Affordable Health Care Act and 
"we need  to pass it now, and we'll find out what's in it after it's  
released".

I have talked to a couple of local hams with K-Lines about the problem.
