[Elecraft] KPA100, KAT100 in EC2

[Joe Squarzini]

I successfully built KAT100 and KPA 100 and enclosed them in an EC2. It is 
a no brainer. No mods really necessary. Build the Y cable (DE-9) shown in 
the KAT100 manual if you wish to add a PC to the control bus. Otherwise 
build  an ordinary cable to connect the I/O connectors. Make sure it is 
only wired per Elecraft's diagram NOT a commercial pre-wired cable. There 
are connection pins that do bad things. Use short cables less than 3 feet. 
Make sure you have the spurious spur referenced in KI6WX's report before 
you make the mod. Great pictures and hookups of what I built are in 
WA7GXD's treatise http://www.fidalgo.net/~wa7gxd/k2kpa100.html. Works 
great. So now I have a K2 with all the bells and whistles (SSB, KBT2, KAT2 
etc etc) ready for QRP use and the big hummer sitting next to it ready for 
QRO use. No changes in settings. Just disconnect and go.  Wonderful job 
Elecraft!
