Hi Bob,
The KAT3 tuner has one of the widest matching ranges I have ever seen from
an autotuner. Only maybe twice has it not matched what I have connected to
it.
I suppose I want to know if the KAT500 is a "beefed up" version of the KAT3,
using the same value components and firmware algorithms.
A
Hi to the Elecraft team and the group,
Will this ATU be used with the K3 as the internal tuner (automatic band change,
automatic antenna selection with band, automatic ATU settings with
frequency...)
Is the diversity option still in the pipe?
Best regards

"Lying to your K3" may be cute to say, but it detracts from what is really
going on. That filter parameter simply sets the DSP bandwidth at which the
crystal filter engages, and for all narrower bandwidths until the next
crystal filter engages. The crystal filter and the DSP filter can have

As to lying to the k3 as to the filter you have put in it's slot which I think

According to the K3 manual (page 73):
"The KAT3 provides a wide-range, switchable C-in/C-out L-network for matching
a variety of antennas with SWR as high as 10:1 (100 W) or 20:1 (10 W)."
so the KAT500:
"Typical matching range at 500-600W is up to 10:1 on most bands."
is comparable to the KAT3
