Elecraft is preparing a novelty, CAT500. It is an automatic antenna tuner for sq+6 m. Pre PSV <3 will be able to transmit 1200-1500 W, for PSV<10 it will be 500-600W. On the front panel there are PSV LED indicators and a switch for three antennas. KAT500 can work with any sq equipment, not only Elecraft products. The dimensions are adapted to their devices, the width and depth correspond to K3 and KPA500, the height will be approx. 40mm.
KTA500 je teraz podrobená finálnemu testovaniu a korekciám vo Firmware . Oficiálne predstavenie bude na rádioamatérskom stretnutí v Daytone v máji alebo skôr.
Write in August 2020 about that Elecraft is preparing a new product – the KAT500 tuner is at least incorrect. Write about that 'KAT500 is now undergoing final testing and firmware corrections' is the continuation of writing Aesop's fables. I bought the KAT500 back in 2013 and have been using it together with the KPA500 since then. Production of the K3 and K3S has been discontinued, but the KAT500 and KPA500 are still in production and can be purchased. There are no plans to stop their production yet.
Otherwise KAT500 is the best tuner, jaký se mi dostal do ruky a dokáže vyladit naprosto neuvěřitelné impedance. Jeho firmware prodělal složitý vývoj a řadu změn, dnes dokáže dokonce „předvídat“, jaká bude impedance na frekvenci, kam ještě nebyl naladěn (dělá de facto totéž, co Smithův diagram). Myslím že tento tuner těžko najde konkurenta.
I would ask for the publication of true and verified (verifiable) information, nonsense will definitely devalue this website.
Hi Martin, all older articles have this date. It is the date of migration to the new system. Newer articles have a real date. But TNX for the reminder!
