I am waiting for the KAT500 like many others but I may still want to buy an auto tuner for my K3 now if the KAT500 is a ways off. Actually, I may even want two auto-tuners (or, maybe not). But, I also have my backup rig, an Icom 756 Pro III plus Icom PW-1 for any SSB I do with power. So, an auto-tuner hefty enough for a 1 KW signal might be useful.
Alternatively, if the quality is good and the price reasonable (under $500) I might consider a 100 to 200 watt class auto-tuner. The Palstar AT-Auto is expensive and sophisticated but I hear that it does not work with the K3 (at least, I work in the fashion expected). I know of the MFJ auto tuner too but I am not sure how that works with the K3 so I am looking for any users out there in K3-land who might comment. 73, phil, K7PEH ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
