If I build the K2, how could I key my Ameritron ALS-600 amp?
Is anyone out there driving an amp with their K2?

You'll need the K2/100, of course.
Then you key the amp with the PA Key out (RCA Jack) connection on the rear panel of the KPA100. Easy. de Joe, aa4nn ----- Original Message ----- From: "William Langford" <[hidden email]> If I build the K2, how could I key my Ameritron ALS-600 amp?

Contrary to what some have replied, you DO NOT have to have the KPA100 in order to drive an external amp to anywhere from 150W-600W output (depending upon your amp). The K2 will drive most amps pretty well even with the 15W available from the 'basic' rig. Of course, if you do want full output from your amp, them the KPA100 will be the better choice of driver. In which case you WILL NOT require the device suggested below! The AMPKEYKIT (below) is only required if you have the bare bones K2... the KPA100 and the K60XV (60M converter) option both include MOSFET drivers capable of keying external amps. 73, Tom N0SS At 05:09 AM 1/2/2007, Bill Langford wrote: >If I build the K2, how could I key my Ameritron ALS-600 amp? >Is anyone out there driving an amp with their K2?

Hi Group,
I have recently upgraded my amplifier keying with Tom's kit. In the past, Elecraft also sold an amp keying kit at US$5 plus postage. This earlier version consists of two 2N7000 with similar working principle of Tom's kit. This kit is now surplus to me. It is a completed kit and ready to be installed in K2. If any of you are interested, please email me off the list at [hidden email] I shall let you have it at US$4 to cover my ordinary airmail postage + packing materials from HK to US. 73 Johnny Siu VR2XMC From: "Joe-aa4nn" <[hidden email]> Reply-To: Joe-aa4nn <[hidden email]> To: "William Langford" <[hidden email]>,<[hidden email]> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] amplifier keying Date: Tue, 2 Jan 2007 06:34:22 -0500 You'll need the K2/100, of course.
