Change from KAT100 in EC2 to the mini-unit

[Neal Campbell K3NC]

Hi all,

I have tried Elecraft support several times and never got any answer  
so I am taking this to the list!

I built the KAT100 in the EC2 cabinet a couple of years ago and would  
like to migrate it to the small mini-unit that mounts under the K2.  
Does anyone know what I need to buy/do to accomplish this?

Thanks

This is a very interesting post.  Several of us have asked if the
enclosure the KAT100 and transverters come in is available as we had
projects for them.  To my knowledge they are not available like the EC2
enclosure.  It makes it interesting for someone who built the KAT100
into an EC2 case right at the start to change back.  I would like to
know the answer to this one as well :-)

Neal,
I may be oversimplifying your request, but I think what your asking is to move your KAT-100 in your current EC-2 into the EC-1 enclosure.  I would try asking the parts department for the price of the EC-1 panels.  The manual lists the part numbers for the EC1 as E100138 (Front), E100139 (Rear), E100140 (Sidex2), E100146 (Top) and, E100147 (Bottom cover).  I have always received very prompt replies for spare part requests.

Good Luck

I have the "single unit" housing for the KAT-100, so
it is/was available.  I've not used it ... just bought to
allow me all the possible choices.  The KAT-100 is
in an EC-2 waiting on me to get around to building
PA.

Better get it done before my K3 arrives ...

The EC1 enclosure is the same size as the K1.  The KAT100 will not fit
in it.  What Neal wants (I believe) is the enclosure that the
transverters and the KAT100 come in.  I have found no information on
this.  Forgive me if it is available.

You could go to the Elecraft Web Pages and look up the manual for the  
standard KAT100, identify the cabinet components that are needed and order them  as
spare/replacement parts. The manual assembly instructions should give enough  
detail on what these parts are and what's needed. I'm sure some of the parts
are  common to the EC2 ( bottom panel and parts ) The main difference is the
side  panels and front/back parts. Page 3 of the KAT100 downloadable manual
describes  the differences/ with pictures.
 
Good Luck es 73 de WA6VNN, Al

Ian,
You are correct, I mis-spoke the EC-1 is the enclosure for the K1,  The KAT100-1 is the proper nomenclature for the smaller KAT-100 enclosure the part numbers I provided are listed in the KAT-100 Manual.
