Are you planning to remove the KPA100 when doing Field work or Field Day?
If so, then you can again put the KAT2 on the base K2.

The ATU used with the KPA100 must handle 100 or more watts, and be
positioned between the KPA100 and the antenna.

Even if the KPA100 did not physically displace the KAT2 and QRP top
cover, it could not be used with the KPA100 because it would be on the
input to the KPA100, and not the output.

Or you can use the ‘twins’ configuration of the K2/100:  with the KPA100 and the KAT100 in a separate EC2, you have a 100 watt rig with a 100 watt tuner.  Unplug the K2 from the EC2 and you have a 20 watt QRP rig with a 20 watt tuner.  It’s that easy.
