[Elecraft] Using a KAT100 without a KIO2

[Solosko, Robert B (Bob)]

Hello All,

	I plan to soon add the KAT100 to my K2 and eventually add the KPA100 (but probably not soon given budgetary constraints). I'd rather not have to buy a KIO2 with the KAT100, since it will come with the KPA100. On KK7P's web page describing remoting the KAT100, there is a circuit diagram for using the KAT100 without a KIO2, with a note that says "it is untested. The risk is entirely yours". Has anyone used this circuit to avoid having to purchase a KIO2 with the KAT100, and 1) does it work? 2) is there any differences to the operation of the KAT100 with the K2? Are there other inexpensive alternatives?

	Thanks.
