[Elecraft] Not hearing signals in K2 with EC2 enclosure KPA100/KAT100 combo

[Lou Voerman W2ROW]

Hi - this may be obvious and if so - sorry.

You need two RF cables (plus the antenna cable itself) to make this work.
First a BNC to BNC cable goes from the K2 ANT1 jack to the AUX RF jack on
the rear panel of the KAT100 this provides an RF path from the K2 to the
KPA100 via an internal (to the KAT100/KPA100 box) coax. You also need a
PL259 to PL259 cable from the ANT.(50ohm) jack on the KPA100 to the RF IN
jack on the KAT100. This connects the ouput of the KPA100 to the input of
the KAT100. Now you can connect the antenna to the PL259 ANT1 jack on the
KAT100.

Of course you also need to power the K2 via it normal power jack and the
KAT100/KPA100 box via the Anderson Power Pole connector on the KPA100.

You mentioned that you have the control cable connected between the K2 and
the external box.

Hope this helps - I built and use this combination all the time.
