I suggest you take a look at KK7P's excellent web page about doing  
just what you described:  <http://www.kk7p.com/k2kpa100.html>.  The  
only modification required to the K2 is to replace a choke with one  
having a higher current capability (if one has an early KPA100, there  
is a resistor mod, as well).
