[Elecraft] Remoting the KPA100???

Mon Apr 14 22:28:01 2003

Larry, do you remember the old TV commercial with the tag line "It doesn't
pay to fool with Mother Nature!"?

I have a hunch that it doesn't pay to fool with the design decisions that
Wayne and Eric made for adding the KPA100 to the K2.

Just a hunch . . .
