[K2] KAT2 and KAT100 living happily together?

[Brian - N5BCN]

I'm considering purchasing a KPA100+KAT100-2 and building both in a separate EC2 case.

My current K2 already has a KAT2 and KIO2 installed.  I control the K2 with HRD via the KIO2.

If I connect the K2 to the KPA100+KAT100-2, will I have to remove the KAT2 or is there a way to bypass it?  What about the KIO2 that's installed in the K2?  Where do I connect my computer (the KIO2 in the K2 or the one in the KPA100+KAT100-2)??

Thanks!

  Brian,

The external KPA100/KAT100 will co-exist nicely with the KAT2.  You must
connect the BNC cable to the KAT100 RF in jack to ANT1, and the KAT2 is
automatically bypassed and forced to ANT1.

Build the cable that is specified for the KAT100.  The connector with
two cables plugs into the KIO2.  Connect the other non-computer end to
either the KAT100 or the KPA100 DB-9 connector.  There is no path to the
computer (RXD and TXD signals) from the KPA100 when it is mounted
externally.
