[Elecraft] Standalone K2 Amp?

[Tom Zeltwanger]

Don,

I now have all the pieces to do this (remote the KPA100 and KAT100-2). I have 
seen many discussions on this subject, and I know there are directions out 
there for doing this. Is there any one set of directions that is best in terms 
of describing all the steps? I don't necessarily need photos, but I need 
something that covers everything that needs to be done.

73,

Tom KG3V
