[Elecraft] K2/100 and KAT2

I have a setup exactly like the Wilcox Engineering setup. I have a 
second K2 with the KAT2 installed just for QRP, but I've had it  
connected to the KPA100 also. Works fine and is a very impressive little 
package on the desk.

The Wilcox Eng. text says to be sure to power up the KPA100 before the 
K2. I'd never heard that before.  I power both with the same power 
supply recommended and sold by Elecraft. I hit the PS switch then the K2 
front panel switch, so maybe that's what he means.
