[Elecraft] K2 - REMOTE KPA100/KAT100

[MTcja]

K2 6442 is working fine and I was able to make a number of contact on Field
Day using an antenna hung from a crane at 103 feet.  However, success at
home has been frustrating as I am in a hole, in a valley, at the low end of
the sun cycle, in a community that does not allow antennas.  Currently, I am
using a High Sierra screwdriver with tuned radials that I have to set up and
break down every time I use it.  15 Watts max has not resulted in very many
stations hearing me.

To make up for all of the above shortcomings, I am looking into ordering the
KPA100 and KAT100 and mounting them together in the Elecraft enclosure. 
However, I am a little leery.  This is an after market modification and will
not include the awesome assembly manual that allowed a neophyte like me to
successfully build a K2.

I would like to hear from anyone who has built a Remote KPA/KAT100.  Any
comments are welcome.  However, I am most interested in the following:

1.  Who has the best, most complete instructions on how to successfully
build this mod? So far I have only found one source on the net.
2.  What are the pitfalls that an inexperienced builder should be watchful
for?
3.  Any other comments welcome.

Thanks.
