[Elecraft] An external PA with the K2?

[Kristinn Andersen]

Hi:

 

I am considering obtaining a K2 and just posted a question regarding the
most useful options for QRP.

 

Now, when using the K2 at home, particularly for contesting, I may want to
run the full 100W.  Instead of integrating the 100W PA "permanently" into
the rig, and not having it instantly available as a QRP rig, I would rather
want to have the 100W amplifier external and simply plug the K2 up to it
when I am using it as a home station.

 

So, is the 100W PA available as an external unit?  Any other suggestions?  I
am aware of other solid state amplifiers, such as the Ameritron units, but I
feel that would be an overkill.  Mounting the 100W PA from Elecraft into the
EC2, or something similar (keeping the QSK, as well) would be a neat
solution...
