[Elecraft] kpa100 with kat100-2

[Dave Van Wallaghen]

Joe,

I guess contradiction was a little strong ;-) I just wasn't sure if the
later revs of the KPA100 eliminated the issue entirely. 

I'm somewhat lazy as well and adhere to the KISS principal (most days) so I
was leaning with not replacing it. But then again, I'm pretty conservative
with regard to my equipment - so...

Always good to have choices :-)

Dave, W8FGu
