Questions & Answers:

Q: Why ATU KT-005 project was created?

A: There were no ATUs on the market that were sized to fit the portable TRX QCX® and QMX® series. The KT-005 is twice as small as previously available solutions. Here we have portability without compromise.

Q: Is the visual resemblance to QCX®/QMX® TRX coincidental?

A: No. The ATU KT-005 is designed as an extension to QCX®/QMX® TRX series. Also in terms of visuals. Aesthetics matter. More products from this series on the way (e.g. KT-019 NanoSpeaker; check the datasheet in the bottom section).
