[Elecraft] KAT3 tuner and KXAT100 tuner specs question

[Phil Wheeler]

I'd take the K3/100, Lou -- assuming you have no 
plans to operate QRP portable away from AC power. 
The K3's receiver is more robust and there should 
be no thermal issues if you decide to use any 100% 
duty cycle modes. Plus one box is easier to deal 
with, in terms of cables and such.
