[Elecraft] Remoting the KPA100???

Tue Apr 15 13:41:00 2003

Hi guys -
If you check the archives you will find two excellent websites with details and photos re putting the amp and tuner in the EC2 enclosure. I don't have time at the moment to find the sites for you - sorry. I believe it was defitnitely part of the design idea - the trick was to make the amp only work when connected to an Elecraft chip. I'm currently building my second K2 in this fashion.
