Hi Ci. Your plan is exavtly the same as mine. I have a K2 100 without tuner.
Years back I had an SGC tuner which could do everything including
cartwheeels.  I'm gonna get another. Considering the fact the it lived
otdoors for five years is pretty good in my book.  Undecided whether go for
a model that must live inside.or not as may want to try the K2 100w amp on a
different QRP rig.

I have wire antenna tuned by SGC. I'll build K2/100 and KAT-100.

Could it be possible to use one or two antennas via KAT-100 and another
via SGC? Maybe I should install one switch after K2/100. Is there a
control cable or something which could prevent my plan?
