[Elecraft] Remoting the KPA100???

Tue Apr 15 12:24:01 2003

Were they design decisions or legal decisions since they needed to make 
sure that the 100 Watt PA could not be used as an external amp for "other" 
uses.  I would also be interested in the 100 Watt option if I could set it 
next to the K2 for home use and keep the internal battery option installed 
for quick field use.
