Hi

The K2/100 will draw about 15-18 amps depending on the band selected at 100 
watts driven into a 50 ohm load.

Do not use silver solder it is hard to remove if you make a mistake or when 
components need to be removed to install options. Silver solder has no 
advantages in standard through hole PC construction. You should use 60/40 or 
better 63/37 rosin core solder.

I'm thinking about getting the K2 with the 100 watt amp.  This forum is very 
helpful and maybe I can get some questions answered.
What current does the K2 need at 100 watts?
Did I see one is supposed to use 2% silver solder or is 60/40 ok?
