Hi all,

A&A Engineering's "QRP Smart Charger" has the option to be built using two of four charging rates: 0.250 A, 0.500 A, 0.750 A, and 1.00 A.  I plan to run my K2 using a KBT2 + Charger combo.

Which two charging rates would best suit this setup?  My K2 has a number of options and draws about 380 mA right now on receive, considerably more when the remoted KPA100 goes into high power mode (remoted KPA100 obviously runs on a different power source).

I've read W3FPR's Smart Charger Mod and he's using 250 mA, so I'm leaning towards the 250 mA/500 mA combo, however, I don't think his mod is used in conjunction with a remoted KPA100.
