ELECRAFT KAT500

Accordatore automatico 1 KW HF+6 metri

The KAT500 is a new high power autotuner that can be used with both the K3/KPA500 and all other HF amplifiers and transceivers. The KAT500 uses the same topology and high performance tuning algorithms as the popular 100W autotuner in the K3. Typical matching range at 500 W is up to 10:1 on most bands. (slightly less on 160m and 6M). This also equates to a range of 3:1 for higher power levels, up to 1000 W.

The KAT500 has a front panel SWR display and three selectable antenna outputs.
It is the same width and depth as the K3 and the KPA500, and it is just 1.5" high

Specifications

Frequency Typical Matching Range and Power Limit
3 — 30 MHz 600W into 5 to 500 Ohms (10:1 SWR)
1000W into 16 to 150 Ohms (3:1 SWR )

1.8 — 2MHz 600W into 10 to 500 Ohms (5:1 Low Impedance, 10:1 High Impedance SWR)
1000W into 16 to 150 Ohms (3:1 SWR )

30 — 60MHz 500W into 5:1 SWR (10 to 250 Ohms)

Matching specified to a 1.0:1 to 1.6:1 resultant SWR. Power rating is ICAS (Intermittent Commercial and Amateur Service).
