[Elecraft] KPA100 and KAT00-2 in a EC2 Enclosure

[Mike Harris]

G'day,

I started out with the KAT100-1 and converted it to a KAT100-2 mated with
the KPA100.

All the parts you need, EC2 and PCB connectors, are available from Elecraft
and detailed on the web site.

The only gripe I have is that you have to buy the whole EC2 assembly *and*
the replacement KAT100-2 front and rear panels.  You are therefore stuck
with blank EC2 front and rear panels you have no use for.  The option of an
EC2 chassis with the appropriate front and rear panels would be more
economical.
