K2-10 - KXPA100 - AMERITRON AL811H?

Dean44

My K2-10 is my backup rig. It has an internal homemade transistor amp keyer that keys the AL811H when 100 watts is needed. 

I would like to add the KXPA100 to have the option to fully drive the AL811H when needed, or to run 100 watts without tuning the larger amp.

What would be the best way to key both amps at the same time?  Any other considerations that I should know for setting up this configuration? For those that may ask,  the reason I want to use the KXPA100 instead of the internal K2 amp is so the radio will still be available for qrp backpacking and such. 

Thanks for your help!

I put my KPA100 and KAT100 in a separate EC2 enclosure.  This allows the
K2/10 to be unhooked and taken portable.  It also provides the key out
jack for driving a larger amp in the shack.
