[Elecraft] KAT100 and K2/100 questions

Mon Oct 14 13:46:03 2002

Let me restate my 2nd question:

I know that I can use the power know to control the power.  It would be =
great to switch between QRP and QRO with a push of a button rather than =
having to adjust the power knob (I thought that was possible, thought I =
read this somewhere here). So is there something like that?

Hi Andreas:

>1. Can I still use the tilt stand on the combined K2/100+KAT100?

If you get the KAT100-1 (the small case version), you can use the 1.5"=20
(38mm) tilt stand and place the K2/100 ON TOP of the KAT100. This will=20
raise the controls of the K2 up to just about the same level they would =
be=20
at if the K2 was alone and using its own tilt stand.

>2. I fell in love with 5W QRP.  Can I switch between 5W and 100W by the
>push of a button? Or is it between max. QRP power (12-15W) and max. QRO
>(100W)?  5W <--> 100W would be really sweet.

With the K2/100, power is adjusteble in 0.5W increments, all the way =
from=20
0.0W through 100W (and possibly a bit higher).

If you wish to control QRP power levels 0.1W increments, you can either=20
remove power from the KPA100 module (pull the cower cable), or you can=20
disable it in MENU.
