[Elecraft] Standalone K2 Amp?

[Don Wilhelm]

Fred,

There are many ways to accomplish that feat.  Most any linear amplifier 
will have 10 to 15 dB gain and will provide 100 watts plus with 10 watts 
input.  You can add Tom Hammond's amp keying kit to your QRP K2 to 
activate the amplifier.

If you do not already have a linear amplifier -
The very easiest way is to build the KPA100 and put it into an EC2 
enclosure.  The KIO2 (or a substitute) must be installed in the QRP K2 
to provide the control signals to the KPA100.

If you need a tuner for your antennas, the KPA100 and the KAT100-2 mate 
together in an EC2 enclosure and make a nice package - even the KAT100 
is powered from the DC cable on the KPA100.
