[Elecraft] power to remote KPA100/KAT100 question

[David]

MY kpa 100 and kat150 don't have a power switch and they are in the
separate ec2 case when I turn the k2 on everything comes on. Or am I
missing something

I am in the process of building a remote KPA100/KAT100 in an EC2
enclosure. The KAt100 is done and I am starting the amp.

I would like to have one power cord with a  "Y" connection to the KPA100
- and have the KAT100 get it's power internally in the EC2 from the
KPA/100. I would like to be able to have all three modules (the K2, the
KPA100, and
KAT100) turn on via the front on/off switch on the K2.

Is there any reason I should NOT do it this way or a preferred "power
on" sequence? Thanks folks.

I have also built an external KPA100/KAT100. I power them both from an
Alinco 12 V power supply (DM-330MV). The power-up sequence is: first the
KPA100 then the K2. This way the K2 CPU senses that the KPA100 is
present and adapts to that. 

There is no way you can route the KPA100 power through the K2 switch and
I would not want to try to modify the K2 to do that. Up to 20 Amps seems
to me to be way too much for that switch.
