Elecraft is preparing a KAT500 tuner
The KTA500 is now undergoing final testing and firmware corrections. The official presentation will be at the Dayton radio amateur meeting in May or earlier.

Write in August 2020 the tone, that Elecraft is preparing a new product – tuner KAT500 is incorrect to say the least. Write about it, that “The KAT500 is now undergoing final testing and firmware corrections” is the writing of Aesop's fables in a sequel. I bought the KAT500 back in 2013 and since then I have been using it together with the KPA500. Production of the K3 and K3S was discontinued, but the KAT500 and KPA500 are still in production and available for purchase. There are no plans to stop their production yet.
Otherwise KAT500 is the best tuner, which I got my hands on and can tune absolutely incredible impedances. Its firmware has undergone complex development and numerous changes, today he can even “anticipate”, what will be the impedance at the frequency, where he was not yet tuned (does the de facto same thing, what smith diagram). I think this tuner will hardly find a competitor.
I would request the publication of true and verified ones (verifiable) information, nonsense will definitely devalue this site.
Hi Martin, for all older articles there is such a date. It is the date of migration to the new system. Newer articles have a real date. But TNX for the reminder!
