[K2] FS: KPA100/KAT100 in EC2 Enclosure

[Douglas Furton]

I've decided to offer up for sale the KPA100/KAT100/KIO2 I built in an EC2 enclosure earlier this year.  I built this setup to augment my K2 (QRP CW only) when I'm at my home station.  The setup works very well, but I find that I'm operating CW QRP almost exclusively, so I don't see leaving this nice unit sitting around gathering dust.

To use this unit with a basic 10-Watt K2, one needs to connect a short RS-232 cable between the IO port on the K2 and the IO port on the KPA100, a short length of RF cable between the K2 output (with out without a KAT2 tuner -- mine has the KAT2 tuner) and the KPA100 input, and a short length of RF cable between the KPA100 output and the KAT100 input on the back of the unit.  I'll include these cables (the ones I've been using). One must also provide power to the unit (separate from the power to run the K2) via the APP connector on the back of the KPA100, and a connection to ground.

Everything works as expected, and there are no blemishes on the case.  And for the record, I'll add that I had no trouble assembling, aligning, and using the amp/tuner.

Setting a price is a bit difficult for me: I'm wondering if there is some "standard" pricing scheme the community places on built/used K2 products.  I can determine that to buy the kit new from elecraft, unassembled, would cost about $900.   I built this unit in 2010 (wish I had saved the receipt).  

If your interested, contact me off the reflector, and we can talk price/shipping.  Oh, and of course I'll send along the relevant printed manuals that came with the kits.

Maybe I can help.

+Shipping $210 = $900

About a month ago there was the following post about the same unit I would guess.

Was the problem repaired?
