Hi, Jim-
Th reason for the larger enclosure is that a lot of ops prefer to remote the
KPA100 together with the KAT100-2. This of course requires the larger area
afforded by an EC2 external enclosure which can be purchased separately. The
KAT100-2 kit slips inside the lower part of the EC2 enclosure and includes
front and back panels. The KPA100 fits in the upper portion, its heatsink
making up the top panel of the enclosure, just as it does when it is
integrated into the K2.
The self-contained KAT100-1 comes with standard feet, but a bail can be
ordered. I use this bail on my KAT100-1. Since the K2 is placed directly
atop the KAT100-1, it makes the bail of the K2 superfluous.
If you are at all interested in remoting the KPA100, excellent info in this
regard can be found at: http://www.fidalgo.net/~wa7gxd/k2kpa100.html

... I normally use my K2/100 elevated ( 2 1/2 " ). Does the smaller
enclosure come with a bail and feet or just feet ? Maybe I am overlooking
something. What was the purpose of going to the larger enclosure ? Comments
are solicited.
W9VNE, Jim
