- KXAT100 internal ATU option matches 10:1 SWR (5:1 typical on 160 m and 6 m); uses Elecraft's fast matching algorithm
- KXAT100 ATU settings saved per band, per band segment, and per antenna for instant recall
- IMPORTANT: If you are using a KX3 with your KXPA100, you must load the latest KX3 firmware (MCU 1.76 or newer) before use.
Depending upon what radio you are using, decides what additional leads you need.
- KX3 - You will need the KXPACBL
- KX2 - You will need the the KXPACBL plus the KX2ACBL
- FT-817 - You will need KXFT817CBL
