[Elecraft] K2 and KPA100

[Lee Buller]

Gary,

I have the KPA100.  It meets and exceeds my expectations.  It is a fun kit to build and it is fun to integrate into the k2.  It is tough and have used in on CW and SSB in contest mode.

I would suggest also, that you build a small 10 db audio amplifier to help drive the K2 a little harder with your mic.  You can use a 2N2222 amplifier and run it off 9 volt battery.  Works quite well for me and helps give a little more to the SSB signal.  Remember, don't over drive, but the amp will help.  

That is my story and I am sticking with it.

In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply.  If you don't have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it.  If you can't find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense.  Is Common Sense divine?

Common Sense is the image of the Creator expressing revealed truth in my mind. -  J. Wolf
