Steve, the Astron has the ratings to handle the K2 plus 100 watts.   It also
has voltage regulator that should limit the current, so added breaker is
optional.  It should be slightly larger than the current draw of the K2 plus
the amplifier, if used.

If you do not use the breaker, be sure to fuse the K2 near the supply,
although the K2 has a current limiting circuit of its own.  That is standard
safety practice in case the insulation rubs thru along the wires to the rig.
