[Elecraft] KAT4

[Jay Rutherford]

Hi Charles,

I think you're confusing the KAT4 tuner inside the K4 and the KAT500 tuner. The former will handle the maximum power that the K4 can put out barefoot. If you want to run the KPA500 amp and need a tuner, you will need the KAT500 tuner for that purpose.

At least that is my understanding!
