[Elecraft] KAT 100-1 vs KAT 100-2

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
