[Elecraft] K2/10 upgrade question

[Ariel Jacala]

I am quite the opposite.  I kept the KPA100 on the K2.  If I want to go portable QRP, I take the K2/100 and dial the power down to 5 watts.  If I want 20 watts. I turn the knob for 20.  I operated field day twice this way.

Nowadays the K2 stays at home.  The KX3 goes portable.
