[Elecraft] K2 with KXPA100

[Matt Maguire]

The K2 works FB with KXPA100. You may need to add a key out line, eg.http://www.mwrs.org.au/2014/04/20/elecraft-k2-amplifier-keying-circuit/
It is not as tightly integrated to the K2 as the KPA100, eg. if you change bands, you may need to tap the dit paddle to let the KXPA100 know you changed bands, then the KXPA100 will recall the appropriate LPF+KXAT100 tuning solution. But it works well, and is nice and quiet with PIN diode switching and fanless heat sink design.

Will a KXPA100 integrate with a K2?  I sold my KPA100 in the "lid" 
because all I ever used my K2 for was QRP in the field.  We're now 
getting ready to move to an HOA/CC&R "community" in Sparks NV, and it 
may be a while before I have anything other than field antennas.  I will 
eventually have a flag pole and the roof area is large and thus high, so 
I can get wires up in the attic and garage as soon as I can get some 
help installing them there.

In the meantime, as we're moving slowly this summer, I'd like a "more 
than QRP" radio for those times when we're there.
