Buildin a QRO KPA100 in a separate case

[bobatbay]

  I have a K2 with the SSB adaptor, 160m option, audio filter
    and auto atu built in, and an excellent QRP radio it is too.
    I have a dilemma - I would like a QRO capability on SSB but
    would really love to keep the K2 intact as a QRP go anywhere
    battery powered unit.
    Has anyone built the 100w KPA 100 amplifier option as a stand
    alone in a separate Elecraft case ? Any problesm with doing
    this ?  
    Or do I have to either
    (a) sell off the K2 low power auto atu and build the 100w
    amplifier int omy exisitng K2
    or
    (b) build anohter K2 but as the 100w version from scratch ??
    I will be grateful for your comments ....
    best 73

Yes, a number of ops have put the KPA100 in the Elecraft EC2 enclosure that
matches the K2. One who has provided extensive on-line documentation for
doing this is Lyle, KK7P. For details, see http://tinyurl.com/69w5r

battery option

I just finished building the KPA100 and KAT100-2 in
the EC2 case and I love it.  It went together really
well using KK7P's instructions,
<http://www.kk7p.com/k2kpa100.html>.  I used the KIO2
option which made it very simple and neat.  Everything
works great!
