[Elecraft] KAT100/KPA100/EC2

Fri Aug 15 08:34:00 2003

Joe:
  You rather missed my point.  I was simply indicating that the added 
convenience of having a separate amp to allow the basic K2 to be simply 
"picked up" and put into the field is minimal -- because it is also a very 
simple and swift operation to change the lids.  If one wants separate 
units, that's fine;  there are a number of good reasons for doing this. 
But convenience of the sort stated is not much of one.

best wishes,

dave belsley, w1euy
