[Elecraft] Whats the deal with my K2/100

[Ken Alexander]

In case you need any help with your decision regarding a KPA100 I can tell you that I finished building and installing mine about 3 or 4 weeks ago and it's the best thing I've done to my K2.  If you built your own K2 then you won't have any problem putting a KPA100 together, and installation and setup couldn't be simpler.

My K2 was QRP for about 4 years.  It teaches you patience and technique.  However, to me, the more QSOs the more fun, especially in contests.  The KPA100 definitely provides that!

Oh, and the heat sink on top of the K2 looks really cool!   8-)
