I suspect option 2) Convert K2 to K2/100 is the simplest way to achieve
your goals.  It is the least costly in time and money.  The biggest
drawback would be the portability aspect of it but I think the KPA100 is
fairly simple to remove on occasion if you wanted to go back to a wimpy
15 watt K2 for portable operation.

Other options?  Buy a 2nd hand rig that gives you 100 watts and keep the
K2 as a 15 watt only rig.  That certainly minimizes build time.

Are you in a band?  What type of music, what instrument?

And tell the truth, do you have a Kent key?  Wait, I guess any key you
have is a Kent key.  :-)

I am trying to decide.. 1) Build the KPA100 into an EC2 case. 2) Convert
my current K2 to a K2/100. 3)  Build a separate new K2/100. Goals are:
100 watts as an option. Maintain portability. Minimum building time.
Don't get me wrong I like building. I have house related projects to do.

fix. Need I continue. I guess I would like to know what the caveats are
to the separate box solution. Any ideas?? Any other ideas not
mentioned?? Thanks in advanced.
