[Elecraft] Power supply and fuse recommendations for K2

Steve,

If it has the KPA100 installed, the cable (if built as instructed) has a 
20 amp in-line fuse.
The QRP K2 has an internal 5 amp resettable fuse, so it will protect itself.
What you do need to protect just in case of accidents is the power cable 
itself.  I would suggest a 10 amp fuse.
