[Elecraft] Internal or External amp for K2..what are my options

[John Ragle]

Hi, Steve...I had a K2/100 (100 internal) which I stupidly sold off in a 
fit of (Flex) techno-lust. It was a very nice little rig, though the 100 
watt add-in does make for a very compact, space-filing, even crowded, 
little riglet,. If you look thru this site's archives, you will find at 
least one thread in which the add-in is put into a separate box. You 
might be interested in that variation. It is not quite so simple as just 
putting a box around the amp, however.
