The price as I was just informed when I ordered via phone was $699
assembledI don't remember the un-assembled price but I think it was in
the low $600s. A bit steep for a tuner...but I'm betting it'll be worth it!!

The AT-1000ProII is $539 at HROpretty close and I bet the KAT500 will be
very comparable.
My order was #3 btw...

I've never owned a MFJ tuner capable of handling its "rated" power for
anything over a 1.5 SWR (and then you get into arguments about PEP vs CW vs
Continuous Carrier). They all burn out with even a slight mismatch. Since
I'm not trying to tune a dummy load, I'll go with something that can handle
The LDG AT-1000ProII is on a "Dayton" sale at Gigaparts for $459 with free
shipping through Monday, the 21st. (Must be ordered on-line) I just posted this
since there were $539 prices being mentioned on the reflector.
The KAT500 at $699 is quite a bit higher. Also, shipping to the East Cost via

I would expect that this would depend not only on the SWR, but on the nature of
the
impedance it sees. Unless someone from Elecraft told you this, I wouldn't risk
running
1500 watts at 3:1 SWR (if Elecraft DID tell you this, then I'm ordering one)!

Oops, wrong again! I see that they make the claim that it will handle 1200-1500
watts on
the website. But I suspect you have to be very careful!

You bet, Vic. Just read the reviews of antenna tuners in QST, with
careful attention to the amount of power absorbed in the tuner at some
load impedance/reactance combinations, and imagine 600 watts being
dissipated inside a 500-watt tuner.

I plan to order my KAT500 as soon as I find new employment. It will
replace the old MFJ-962D I'm using currently.

Understand that

You've GOT to be kidding.
*Jim,
In VK you will pay that for a pretty dumb LDG auto-tuner with a single
antenna connection and more for a manual Palstar.
Given the almost equal exchange rate the KAT-500 not only represents value
for money (not a phrase I would use in a sentence with MFJ in it) it offers
great versatility a

I briefly owned an AT-1000. I hated it, and sold it at a loss. LDG was

I agree the price is a bit higher than I would have liked to have seen.
I am sure it will work far better than the MFJ and I don't think either will
handle the full output on 6m which the KAT500 will do or so I was tol
