[Elecraft] kpa100 with kat100-2

[Don Wilhelm]

Dave,

While full instructions are not available from Elecraft, it is a simple
matter to put the KPA100 and the KAT100 into an EC2 enclosure.  The KAT100-2
has all the 'hooks' required to plug the KPA100 into the KAT100 board.

There are no mods required to mount the current KPA100 externally - the mods
that you read about apply only to the initial KPA100 design, so if yours has
been upgraded (if R23 and L18 are jumpers, you have the upgrade installed -
the new kits have th upgrade integrated), all you need to do is plug it in
once you complete the KAT100-2.

73,
