Joe,
Your Astron RS-20 power supply is all you need to power up a K2/100. It
will handle the job extremely well. That's exactly what I use up here in
the frozen north country.
You may want to use a small separate switcher to power up your KAT100
antenna tuner, if you have one, so that power is
provided separately to the tuner before the K2 is turned on..
Bottom line- forget about using the Alinco switching supply!

In my experience, there's no problem if power is supplied to the K2 and KAT100
at the SAME time -- just don't power up the K2 first.
