[Elecraft] K2 remote and KPA100 - is this "normal"

Hi all,

The problem being that I am! Fallen angels, don't you know :-)


And others also responded to my comment about the KPA100 not kicking in at
10 W too:

A slip of the finger: it should have been 11W - but it doesn't kick in at
all.  Eric tells me "K2 Remote has not been updated yet to fully support the
K2/100. Its in process, but I have a couple of other hot items to complete
first."

And it's all no big deal at all - I was just curious. To be honest I'd
prefer to operate the K2 manually - using an FT-817 is a different matter
altogether. But the feeling of satisfaction when it all fired up without
smoke escaping or other problems (as yet!) was quite a kick. Now I have to
convince my wife that I can't live without the KAT100 :-0
