Hi, I'm planning antenna additions and have a question about the upcoming KAT500.
I'm planning on using 2 antennas, at 2 physically separated locations, each equipped with a remote KAT500. Both antennas can be switched to the same K3. I understand the KAT500 will be able to receive frequency/band data from the K3, and would like to use this feature for both antennas. (Thus, both ATUs will be correctly tuned as soon as I QSY to a certain band, without the need to send RF to both ATUs in order to let the RF sensing circuitry to its thing...) Will it be possible to have multiple remote KAT500s connected to the same K3 at the same time? (I guess another way of phrasing the question is: is there only unidirectional data flow from K3 to KAT500, or do the K3 and KAT500 engage in bidirectional communication during tune-up [e.g. to enable the K3 to reduce power whilst the KAT500 is rattling its relays], just like the KAT100 does?) Also, I'm very interested in pricing and availability info. Surely, the Waynes and Erics of this world have preliminary info, but knowing the way these people keep the cards close to the chest, I'm afraid the only way of this information getting onto the reflector would be one of them goofing up and accidently posting data intended for private communication... :-) Cheers, Frank PA4N ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
