[Elecraft] KPA100 Elimination?

[Tom Zeltwanger]

Does this option alow better cooling? I was a little surprised to hear comments
that make it sound like working RTTY might really overheat the unit.

I am building a K2/100 now and will stay the course, but I would be interested
in hearing more. A 100w amp and tuner in a box might indeed be a nice way to
keep the basic QRP rig separate.
